Hey all! Thanks for everyone's messages and help.
I've just moved into my new place and have just finished setting up the enclosure and using what Herpetology has said above.
I don't think I'm doing it correctly and getting correct temps. One thing ive also done is bundled a little bit of heat wrap under the probe to help create direct contact between the probe and the base of the tub and a bit of spacing from the probe and heatmat.
The readings as of right now are.
30.2 thermostat 25.6 thermometer.
I'm going to buy a temp gun off ebay soon to help get a better reading from inside the tub.
Maybe im overworrying but I feel like I want to get the enclosure all set up JUST right before I buy my first snake haha
I'll post some photos in a second of what I've done.
Now keep in mind, I'm yet to put any holes in the enclosure too. That's what I'll do next.
