    You're ambient is actually not bad. I assume you are using a uth with a thermostat? If you do have everything properly set up you are going to see this when you switch to a tub. One thing you could do is try keeping the set up in a warmer room. My ambients in my racks reflect the room temperature. Which is the way it works. Normally I have ambient 75-80. But my snake room stays pretty warm. As long as he has the hot spot correct you will be fine.

    I cover 3 sides of my tanks with cardboard to help insulate them and seems to work very well in a 69-72 degree room my ambient temps are 78-81
