Heat Panel Question

rottenweiler9 Jan 28, 2008 09:02 PM

I have my heat panel set at 82 degrees, and the temp on the stick below it ranges from 84 to 94, is that to hot. The sensor is right by the panel.

Thank you

how far is the stick from the panel. also how big is the cage? does the emerald have a place to retreat to cool down. i have basins and all have heat panels- its the best choice to heat with.... my email is hunger143@embarqmail.com

He does have plenty of room to retreat or go anywhere else, he usually stays under the heat panel, until recent he moved just off to the side but otherwise, he was always under it.
