I'd also put a digital probe thermometer extended out under the heat source a few inches above where the dragons back would be. That way you are checking the temp under the bulb aswell.

Good video my bro

@LongfieldReptilesandAquatics 3 года назад

Great video! I normally set my probs slightly away from the basking spot, set them slightly lower than what I want my basking temps to be and then measure the basking spot with a temp gun, I've found it to be the most accurate way of doing it, plus some thermostats only go up to 32°c and most of the time I want a hotter basking spot than that 😄 Don't suppose you've got your own discord or Facebook group? something to chat to other reptile enthusiasts in?

Yes mate I've seen a lot of your videos and really learnt a lot I've got bearded dragon in a 4ft vivarium and at the minute I've got the basking light in the vivarium with a 50watt bulb and it's still getting a bit hot now it's summer I was thinking about cutting a hole in the top of my vivarium and sitting the light above it and that I get a lot more room in it what do you suggest??? Thanks

@theprelovedpixie1255 3 года назад

Can I ask what wattage bulb your using in the beardie viv? If you try a lower wattage bulb the lamp will stay on providing constant light. You want the lowest wattage bulb that achieves temps.

@jamiethomas4973 2 года назад

Hi can you get a on off thermostat that you can plug in two heat mats to ?

@paulholmes4843 2 года назад

If you place the probe outside the basking zone when moving from night to day temps in order to warm up the area the probe is measuring doesn’t the basking area get super hot for an hour or so whilst temps rise?

@SpudMonkey815 6 месяцев назад

Hi mate thanks for the video, with the first heater which is what I’ve got, mine is under the glass I’ve then got 1cm deep substrate so am I putting the sensor on top of the substrate? Sorry I’m new to keeping gecko and I’m really worried I’m getting it wrong

@aaronr86 2 года назад

Hi mate seems like a great idea but at the start of the day will she not burn if she’s under the bulb as it would be belting out full power till it got the viv to that temp , my girl don’t seem happy her basking spot is around 100c cool end 80 warm around 90 but I got the thermostat probe under the bulb 4 cm under her back as that the advice groups gave me

@BVA663 2 года назад

I have tried the method you recommended for the ceramic heat emitter but I am finding that the pulse thermostat is constantly on heat and never off. I’m using the exo terra digital thermostat and it’s just not turning of the heat. If I move it further away then the ambient temp isn’t getting to its correct temp. 🧐

@terryh9684 2 года назад

I’ve got a dimming thermostat for a baby crested so do I put the prob at the spot the crested will be or at the top by the lid ? As I’d like to set it all up now befor winter as my house will drop well below recommend temperatures for the lil guy so any help 👍🏻

@sweatycrow2097 8 месяцев назад

Il be setting up my vivarium this week for my soon bearded dragon, I'm working with 2x 300w exo terra thermostats. I was thinking one for my basking lamp, one for my ceramic heater "if needed threw winter" that will be monitored closely whether it is to be used or not. How should I set the heat lamp probe? I was thinking down against the left side of my tank abit lower than the basking spot.. then infrared temp gun the spot below my 100w basking bulb, does this sound right? Any comments will be appreciated, just let me know how you would set each probe. So I can get an idea. Many thanks

@Anon_E_Muss 2 года назад

Thank you for this! I needed help with probe placement and a dimming thermostat. The herpstat 1 says the probe should be 3-4 inches away from the dhp.... I'm having trouble getting temps hot enough. My original thought was to do as you have been doing, I think I'm gonna have to increase my bulb wattage and see if that helps. Appreciate your time making these videos, I've learned a bunch!

What if the animal gets down there under the hide and substrate and dislodges the probe (since you didn't tape it down or anything)? Now the probe is hanging out and not reading the temperature correctly anymore and your animal gets cooked... not good

@MatthiasRosberg 3 года назад

I use aspen bedding. How deep should it be if using a mat in the enclosure?

@Lucifaar 2 года назад

I would personally avoid aspen, it tends to mold easily. Whatever substrate you use needs to be deep enough so your animal isn't sitting too close to the mat to avoid burning it.

@Dubser 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I bought one but I'm thinking what if its a hot day or night, then having the mat holding at the same temp will be overkill wouldn't it? Would it not make more sense to have the sensor in the tank to decide if mat should cool down or not ?

@SpookySteph1111 3 года назад

I'm really struggling to get my basking spot temp up, I've had the probe I the middle, then at cool end and it's now currently under the basking spot and still can't get it over 35 degrees Celsius, any help much appreciated

@Lucifaar 2 года назад

Without knowing your specific setup, you may have to get a thermostat that can go higher than whatever your current one is capable of. Also try a higher wattage basking bulb.

@tonjer.2948 Год назад

With baskinglight and dimming stats it also works well as long as you buy the lowest w suitable to create the rught temperature at a given distance (to the bsking spot), that will keep the bulb running on max or nearly that even if the probe is on the basking spot 😊

The probe should be where you want the heat measured. In the tank onto of where the matt is

Do i put the thermostat in the middle, do i need a light bulb to replicate the sun. Im soooo confused.

@Enimini118 3 года назад

I would not use a heatmat for beardies whatsoever, a heat bulb and uvb should suffice and for nighttime temperatures CHE

Where did you get your viv wall? Also i have my heat mat in my 4ft wooden vivarium and Im wondering as I have a green material base then I have Lignocel on top so where should I put my probs in relation and I'm having difficulty with humidity and temp

@Phizzy75 2 года назад

I hope you found your answers, I’m looking to swap my Lignocel for coco husk as I’ve seen it holds humidity better, you can also add a hide in the cool end with some sphagnum moss to help aid shedding.

@Phizzy75 2 года назад

Add the probe to the base, the chances are the ball will move the substrate to get to the heat, not every time but if you have it set much higher allowing for the substrate & then they move it, just something to think about

Fourth place.

@Lucifaar 2 года назад

One thing i'd like to point out. For the under tank heater, don't put the probe DIRECTLY on top of the heat mat. Put the probe inside the hide of whichever animal you are heating. If you put the probe on directly on the mat, the thermostat could say that the mat is 30 degrees, but inside the hide it could be 20 degrees and turn it off. So your precious critter could be way colder than it needs to be. And always, always double check your temperatures with a digital temperature gun. Don't always rely solely on what the thermostat says.

@d_boss_mxk9712 2 года назад

That doesn't make sense to me. Maybe Im wrong or not thinking correctly but I absolutely hate the idea of having a sharp pointy probe lying on the surface where my snake likes to slither. Even if its buried a little Id think the animal would eventually just burrow into it. Idk Im still new and trying to figure out my own way to do things.

@Lucifaar 2 года назад

@@d_boss_mxk9712 The reason you put the probe inside the snake hide is so that you get a temperature reading on the inside of their hide. It does you no good to know how hot the mat is, you need to know how hot the area the snake is sleeping is. Remember that the heater also has to heat up all the substrate above it. Also the probe is not sharp and pointy. It's super blunt and rounded. Think the same bluntness your eraser at the end of a pencil would be. Or the same radius as your average pill medication capsule.

@cured_bacon647 Год назад

@@Lucifaar terrible advice. Snakes will burrow or move substrate to get to the heat. If people listen to what you’re saying then the snake will burrow and touch the glass with a seriously too hot heat mat under it and get burned. Also dont make the substrate as thick where the mat is…

@Lucifaar Год назад

@@cured_bacon647 I mean sure, some snakes will. But not every single species of snake burrows. In fact most snakes don't burrow. So yes while you are right for snakes that Burrow, that is something you need to look into when getting a snake. My ball python however has never burrowed a day in his life, and I've never heard of ball pythons burrowing. Most reptiles that burrow don't burrow to get closer to the heat, when they are trying to regulate their body temperature, they burrow to get away from the heat. You shouldn't have under tank heating for a burrowing species anyway. If you have thin enough substrate that your snake can get down to the glass, then the temperature difference won't be that much anyway between the hide and the heat pad.

@Inkaddiction906 Год назад

@@Lucifaarsnakes will burrow to touch the warmest spot. If the probe isnt under the glass the snake will get burned. You put it under the hide and a snake could move it, changing the temp and potentially burning the snake. The understood fix for this is to use a temp gun to check your surface temperatures. Keep the probe under the glass and use gun to check surface temps, then you can edit your temp to ensure the probe has a good reading, and your snake is safe.
