Hello! I am a new BP owner, I’ve had my little Cinnamon since the beginning of February.

Quick explanation of my set up: I have a 40gal glass tank with a 75w and 50w night heat bulbs as well as UTH on the warm side, with ReptiChip bedding. Temperature wise, everything was going smoothly. My temps were staying with ranges on both sides. I began having humidity issues, so I did a rebedding that was overdo to begin with, thinking the freshly hydrated coconut would help. And it has, along with covering the lid with a towel. However, im now having temp issues.

I don’t know what’s happened, but I’m now barely reaching 85° (measuring with a temp gun) on top of the substrate, where as before I was getting 89-90. Has anyone had this issue? Is the moisture in the coconut playing against me at the moment? Please help! I’m scared to set my UTH much higher than I have it (was at 115° and I had the pre-rebedding temps. Right now it’s at 120° to try and get those temps back). I don’t know what to do…
