I'm not getting ideal temps since moving to a glass viv, I got a new heatmat but no difference. I'm using a habistat pulse proportional stat on a 12w heat mat, is this too small a wattage for the stat to work on? I know some have a minimum wattage but I don't really understand how it all works...

I upgraded to a larger viv a few weeks ago because my leo grew out of the old one and I didn't really have a good gradient. I ended up getting an exo terra mid low viv 60x45x30cm which is glass. I'm having trouble getting good enough temperatures, I have a heatmat under the viv hooked up to a...
