I made a hide out of styrofoam and then covered it in grout and sealer, and when i put it inside my viv the temp drops down and wont reach up to the 96 degrees i set the thermostat at. im just confused by it.
First i was using a mini green plastic bowl upside down as his warm hide and the prob next to it, then i would take out the hide and put in the new one i made without moving the probe from that spot. After i put in the new hide the temp drops down and wont go past 91.2. Should i move the prob or do you think the hide is absorbing the heat or something? im just lost on why this is happening. :help:

The desired temps for the hot spot for leopard geckos is 90. So your new temp is actually correct. Every care sheet around says 90 is the best temp.
