dunno if this is me being stupid or not, but i have a heat mat with thermostat and a digi thermometer the probes are positioned on the floor in the middle of the heat mat, which is reading 27.5 at the moment, but my thermometer which is half way up is readying only 20/21. Is this a problem? at the moment Trevor is sat in his hide on the heat mat but Usually he sits kind of in the middle of the hot and cool end underneath a branch which the heat mat doesn't touch, but at the moment he is warm.. Just wondering if it's a problem that the air temp is so low? x

Don't worry, he will do as he pleases and knows what's best for him.

cool thanks guys, the other thing is will he still be ok when he's not sitting on the floor? cuz quite often i find him sitting right at the top on the fake plant

Oh right, don't worry about that, corns like to sit on something hot, they are not bothered by the air temp hence why people tend to use heat mats which heat the viv just above them rather than lamps (although some use lamps/both). That's why everyone says to put the probe on the mat - go by that one

Temps are OK. Trevor will pick the position where he feels most comfortable.
He will use the warm end for digesting his grub. Afterwards he will move between warm and cool to regulate his body temperature. Don't worry, he knows where to go.

oh soz i meant the thermometer that is on the floor is readying 27 but the other thermometer i have that is half way up the viv is readying 20/21

You should go by the thermometer rather than by the temp on the stat as stats are notoriously unreliable :)
