i'm planning on aquiring my first corn shortly and thought it logical to set up its home to fix any of the kinks b4 i got the snake. I Have a heating pad setup with a rheostat. I have a tile that is about as thick as a pencil between the UTh and the rubbermaid. After having the heating pad on for a few hours i checked the thermometers (have 2 of them placed on opposite ends of the tank, they are as low as they can go without laying on the bottom) and there was no temp change. The bottom of the container directly above the heating pad is definately warm, but no change whatsoever in ambient temp. I then tried turning the rheostat up to medium, no change. The rubbermaid is empty besides the thermometers and newspaper. I have several holes (1/8 inch drill bit) for ventilation.
Temperatures in wisconsin have been fluctuating btween 60-80F when i've tried this.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks,
travis
