I just read your original post again. Are you saying that the warm side temp drops to 24C at night?

I would suggest getting digital thermometers and hygrometer. They are more reliable and give a more accurate reading of temperatures and humidity. The dial type have been known to give inaccurate readings...

oh right ok thanks....would you say my temperatures are correct.... thanks for your help!

Ok. You need to keep the warm side temp at 33-35 all the time. It's ok if the cool side temp drops down to 24-25 at night but they need a way to thermoregulate. If the cool side temp is dropping below 24 at night, then you might need to make some modifications to your tank to keep the temps up...
