I have a rack system. Using a Herpstat 2 thermostat with belly heat flex watt. I am using a digital acurite temp/humidity guage. I have the temp set on 96 degrees but according to the thermometer the hot side is reading 88.9 degrees and humidity ar 51% Can this be accurate? 7 degrees lower then the temp set? I have it set high trying to get a reading between 90-92 degrees.
Have thermostat probe middle rack taped directly on heat tape and temp probe inside tub taped above middle of heat tape. Do I need to get humidity up? If so how will I do this?
