Hi,
I get my first leopard gecko in a few days and my temps just aren't right. I have a 3ft 3" x 1ft 3" x 1ft 3" glass vivarium I have excavator clay as substrate. I currently have a DHP, a 5% UVB bulb AND a CHE set up. The DHP is above the basking spot with 2 slate tiles. I have an Exo Terra dimming day and night thermostat attached to the DHP with the probe directly under it ontop of the slate, I have it set to 94 but the slate heats up and the rear of the tank stays relatively cooler, the cool side is reading 68 and the middle is 69. I have 2 thermometers one on the cool side and one in the middle. Side note when I have the thermometer and thermostat probe beside each other they read widely different temps.
I need help before I get the little guy!
I have attached a photo of the current set up.
