    Sounds like your set up just needs to even out.

    To give you an example, i have my heat tape set to 96. The enclosures hot spots are between 90-94 depending on what level they're in on the rack. The ambients (air temps) hover around 80-82.
    Well my uth sits like 91-93. My air temps mesaured by flukers and acu rite on left and right side of cage. The left where uth sits is around like 83. Then the right side opposite of the uth sits like 79-80

    How are u seeing how hot the "hot spot" is?

    I mean i know the temp of the air and uth.

    I had the warm side temp at 91. And uth at like 92. The cool side was like 87. He was just laying on the substrate/water bowl. So i think it was to hot for him.

    So my question is how hot should the temp be? I got uth at 91-93. Also how do u measure the "hot spot"

    Is that like the temp on top of the substrate?
