    Maybe I got it
    Ok so I moved my tank around. Now my hot side reads about 83.2 to 85 and I put my water dish in the middle and put my branch and a hide on the cool side that reads at about 75 to 78. Now is that right or is it to hot. Thank you

    Your hot side should be 92-93*

    hot side should be around 90-92 degrees and cool side should be around 80-82

    also the hide should be right under the hot side, where she will sleep

    What are you reading temps with? Are you using a thermostat to control temps?

    I using a coralife thermometer on the hot side and cool side I am using the analog temp Gage that came with the tank. But I just bought a thermostat on amazon and a temperature. Hygrometer digital.

    Ok now the hot side is at 91 92 but the probe of the thermometer is on the back wall of the tank on the hot side. Is that right. Or to hot?

    I would suggest not using the UTH, until you get the thermostat. As for the thermometer probe, you can place it inside the hide to monitor the temperature in there, or, at least attach it to the glass somewhere near the top of the hide so that you can monitor the temperature at the snakes level.
