Hello,
ok so i have now got my set up all sorted... (not collected snake yet, doing that at the end of the month) heat matt, pulse stat and digi therm with 2 probs, just have a few questions...
1. i have switched it all on and the cold end says 19.5 is this ok?
2. temps seem to be up and down abit should i just leave it on for a while, but at the moment its around 28.5 is this hot enough or should i turn the stat up a lil?
thanks for any info you can give me as i am new to all this.
cheers |

Yes, mine is that one as well and I read the post thinking it was going on and off.
Glad you are getting everything sorted before snakey comes. Make sure you post pics when you get it home  |

Once the temperature stablizes, the Pulse stat does what it says on the tin. 
It should repeat flash on/off, half second on then 1 second off. (approximately) |

ahhh right to be hones i wasn't looking much at my stat as it connected to the back of the viv i was just watching the therm but when i did look at the back i did see it flash... should it be flashing constantly then? |

What pulse stat are you using? Mine flash every second or so and I do not se a drop in temp before it comes back on.
Habistat pulse stat 600w? i got it going between 29.2 and 29.5 in temps tho so i would have thought that quiet accurate? |

Sounds fine,the cool end is the ambient temp of where your set up is. Draughts can change cool end temp drastically. Would turn off for now and start again about a week before getting snakey. |

Temps are fine, not much you can do about the cooler end, corns are very hardy and will always find the spot that suits them. |

I think a temperature for the hot end is recommended to be between 27 and 29. Mine always seems on the lower end, but anything between that is fine.
I don't know about the cold side and will be interested to find out. Mine seems to fluctuate between 20 and 23. |
