I just went down to my cellar which has a temp of 64 degrees and mumidity 35% and measured the UNDERSIDE of my Sterlite #1754 (15qt) tubs in a standard AP rack and found 114 degrees above the cable and 70 degrees cool end. I use newspaper substrate. I have my Ranco set for 90 degrees to provide me with a hotspot I previously measured above the newspaper of 88 degrees which gives me 75 degree air temp. That quite a spread!

Bob, I assume that is belly heat? I am using back heat and had a great temp spread but the snakes cannot use the large spread at the hot end of my tubs without stacking,shelving of some sort.

Yup, Belly heat. The heat cable type.
