    ugggh please help
    Iam having so much fun here trying figure out a way to raise my abient air temps!(not)
    So my digital thermometer is reading 90 on hot spot humidity at 70 ( he's in shed) but ambient air is only reaching a high of 73-75! What can I do?
    Thanks

    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
