G'day, I built a snake rack consisting of 30 plastic tubs within a melamine shelving system (6 tubs on each of the 5 shelves). Each shelf is routed and within in this is a 6 metre long heat cord woven through each shelf and under half of each tub. The heat cord was plugged into the probe thermostat and set at 35 degrees with the probe in 1 of the tubs. After 12 hours of running the rack. Using a thermometer... the highest temperature the plastic tub had reached was 26 degrees. What have i done wrong?
Does the heat cord have to be in direct contact with the tub ?
What are your thoughts? Im certainly out of ideas....
Cheers. Lance.
