OK, so we're deciding what thermostat to go with -- choosing between Habistat and Microclimate.
The only thing we've been wondering is how to actually control the temperature. I know it makes it a little more difficult because we still haven't settled on whether to get a beardie or monitor...
So, the Microclimate comes in a high temperature version, with a cap of 45 degrees, rather than 35. This should work fine for a beardie, but what about monitors? If they need a basking temperature of up to 55-60 degrees, how can you control the temperature accurately?
I've read that a lot of people place the probe in the middle of the tank, meaning it would be about halfway along the gradient. But does this work accurately?
Hopefully someone can enlighten me :lol:
