The ideal temp is around 27-28oC although a little bit higher won't hurt. I just think it's easier to get the humidity right at that temperature.
It is weird for a dimmer to be inaccurate. How are you measuring the temps? If it's a dial thermometer it's more likely to be that that's wrong.

Posted - 06/05/2009 : 19:44:15 heya and welcome it's unusual for a dimmer stat to vary more than a degree either side of what you've set it at. is it definitely not an on/off stat? the stat probe should be next to the warm end hide. i'm not a rainbow boa keeper so i'm not sure of their specific requirements but somebody who knows should be along soon
