I dont know if any one gets this happen but last night when I went to bed the temp said it was 27.5 which seemed pretty perfect. Got up this morning and it was 29.5 which from my understanding is too high. I have turned the stat down a notch but am worried that it happened in the first place. The temp in my chrondo viv stays the same 99% of the time so i dont understand why this one isn't  Any ideas?? |

The only thing I can think of is that the temperature probe had moved - not much help really.
I have all my probes stuck to the appropriate areas with sealant, this stops them getting moved by my snakes as they go wandering |

| Hi Blackcat, Ive sealed it into place but it still keeps doing it. Think I may need to invest in a new Thermostat :( |

It certainly sounds as if that might be the case.
What type/make of thermostat do you use?
I have one microclimate and the rest of mine are Habistat (all are on/off Mat Stats), I get a bigger range with the microclimate, ie it switches off around 28.6 but doesn't switch back on until it has dropped to about 26.8.
The only problem I get is a different temp reading from different makes of digital thermometers - I now have several temp probes in my rubs, this will have to change when they move into their Vivs.

| Sam, what was the ambient temp in the room? In other words, could that have caused it (or, similarly, maybe a heating duct or sunlight exposure)? |
