In a 30 gallon glass tank, I've got a UTH and a blue 75 watt light over the hot side where the temperature is 82. On the cool side, the temp is 72-75. (fluctuates with the room temp) I've got identical hides on each side, and he always goes to the hide on the cool side. Even if I put him on the warm side, he won't stay for long before he makes his way to the other one.

I've read alot of the posts here and it seems the recommended temp on the hot side is upwards of 90, but could it be that he prefers the cooler temp and I don't need to adjust it? He never goes over to the warm side.

Also, what do you think of the blue light on all the time? Thank you for your help.

Humidity level is at 55%, by the way
