Have you considered using another UTH on another thermostat for the cool end? I imagine that if you are using a basking light that heats the enclosure that high, that you are also having some humidity challenges?

[daveyboy]

it only heats that high on warm end,with just thermostat on humidity is 50 per cent,like you said it drops quite a bit with bulb on

Your ambient temps in the room are too low; raise that or add another t-stat and UTH

How much air flow do you have in your cage? If you cover some of the ventilation it may help you get the temp up a few degrees.

Try raising the room temperature.

I had a similar problem on the cool end of my tubs, I had to supplement the cool side with a strip of 3" flexwatt controled by a dimmer. Solved my problems.
