Temps!!

[scalemaster132]

im using a 100Watt CHE to heat my BP's viv. The cool side and ambient temp are just about perfect, but the warm side sits right around 96. I know thats a little high, and I cant turn the CHE down any because the cool side becomes too cool. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would use a UTH on a thermostat on the hot side, this will also radiate to your cool side and keep those temps up a bit, then maybe you will be able to get rid of the CHE all together, or move it to the cool side and turn it down just enough to keep the cool side correct.

My setup used to be a UTH on the hot side and a heat lamp turned down on the cool side, but the heat lamp was sucking out my humidity so now I have a small UTH on the cool side turned on low, and a large UTH on the hot side on a thermostat. I've found unless your house is warm enough for the cool side to be ambient (which mine isn't) that two different heat sources for both sides works well. Works great for me! Good luck!

Or raise the temp in the room

If it's in your bedroom or something, then that may not be a possibility. I can't stand my bedroom being warm.
