Hot Temp

[Superior]

Im using a Zoo Med rheostat to control my temps. It worked fine for awhile but recently the temperature has jumped to 101 while on the rheostat's lowest setting. My leo just moved to a part of the hot side that doesn't have the UTH directly under it, but is still at an acceptable temperature, so he should be fine for now. Do you think the rheostats broken, and how do you suggest I lower the temperature?

It sounds broken to me, so I would say either get a new one or buy a thermostat.

As I've posted, I've had tons of trouble with those same thermostats, particularly the 500R. I'm replacing all my stats this week with Spyder Robotics stats....$109 but worth it for my babies.
