[QUOTE="Slapmygoat, post: 123233, member: 27215"] Hello again ! :) As my room was a bit cold and it was a lot less expensive to buy a heating pad, I've chosen a [B]22 Watts heating pad from Reptilus (41 x 27,40cm)[/B] so I could place my 3 tarentulas near to it. But here, the 2 enclosures placed on the top of the pad (with some sheets of papers to down the T°) are just heated as I wanted it (Around [B]26/27°C[/B]), but the enclosure under the pad (separated with 1,5cm of wooden plank and 0,4cm of plexiglass) displays a temperature of [B][29-32]°C[/B] which is really hight as the heated air is supposed to elevate and the cold air is supposed to down. What do you guys (or girls) think about it ? Is it my thermometer that fails ? Is the enclosure really that hot (I placed my hand in it, I can't feel the difference with the outside, but when I get the thermometer out of it, the T° decreases suddendly. [B]Here a picture[ATTACH=full]27072[/ATTACH] [/B] I used to be bad in physic, but from what I know 1,5cm of wood and 0,4cm of plexiglass should provide a way better thermal isolation than 2cm of paper. But I must be forgetting something that explain this temperature. Well, I hope someone can light my lantern. Thanks :D [/QUOTE]
