    Ambient heat and belly heat question?

    My BP has an UTH on a thermostat. The thermostat is set to 95f to compensate for the few degrees lost through the glass and substrate (the probe is sandwiched between the glass and UTH). Temp gun on hot side reads about 90f.

    My problem is that my thermometer reads an ambient temp of around 82-83f on the hot side, sometimes a bit more, but all in all usually the same temp as the cold side. I know that UTHs aren't for upping ambient temps, but is this okay? I have a lamp I could use if it's that much of a problem, but I think that might kill my humidity.

    Technically I have a hotspot of 90f, but it's belly heat. Is belly heat sufficient enough? What do you guys think?
