I have a 2ft wide x 1.5ft high by 1ft viv with a 12w heatmat inside. The problem is that the temp in the hot end (even with the temp probe on the edge of the mat) never gets above 23.5oC.
There is a vent about 2" in height midway up the back of the viv that runs the full length of the viv, I am wondering if I cover most of the vent along the back of the viv starting from the hot end and leaving some of the vent uncoverd at the cool end whether this might raise the temp.
What do you think? IS there anything else I should be doing?
I thought maybe 12w wasn't strong enough for the heatmat but it seems standard for an 11"x11" heatmat like mine which seems the right size for my viv.
Any suggestions?
