Than the lower parts are 68/69 and the higher places are 73/74.In the night I don't heat and it drops to 63/64. Knowing this I keep the animals that need a bit higher temps on the top shelfs.My girlfriend has a very small heatmat on the backside to heat it 3 degrees celcius more than without. It's a very small one off 10x10cm (3,5x3,5 or something). Realy small. It does not get very warm and it's not on the spot where the T usulaly hides.</blockquote>
