My bp refuses to hide anywhere but under the hide on his cooler side which has got me worrying because his UTH on that side crapped out so I am waiting for another one in the mail (it should be here in a few days) The UTH under his warm side is stuck on the tank (I won't be doing that again) so I can't move it. His hides are identical and both are very secure and hidden.

I can't get the cool side over 80 (sometimes it lingers as low as 78 without the UTH) and he won't go to his warm side (90). So I lowered the warm side to 87 and stole his cool hide so he will go under the warm side until his UTH gets here. His tank is covered very well with plants and foil on the outside to make it more secure. Is it a bad idea to steal his hide?
