Substrate temperatures.

Just wondering if anyone measures and records their substrate temps?
The reason i ask is that my enclosure for my spotted has red desert sand as sub, and there are temperature variables around the enclosure. As an air con mech i have 4 different temp recorders in the enclosure (overkill) but there are differences from end to end which is good to allow the python to regulate its own temp by moving around etc. also as heat rises i decided to insulate the enclosure to keep the heat in(its cold in melb at present) with rubber waffle pad, also installed a smoke detector above just in case. What is the correct substrate temp for my spotted. She seems to be happy and active at night and also very fast moving. Any feedback would be appreciated.
