And thanks for the pics and idea Vypyrz. I think i might check to see if i could find some sort of plexiglass or plastic cover for the top of the tank but if i can't i will definately do what you did.
Put the probe itself under the substrate against the glass. That's the place of which you want to know the temperature. Your temperatures may actually be too hot. Without a thermostat, they probably are because UTHs can normally reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Sometimes 140. Making this switch could reveal that you don't really don't need the lamp, and that alone might solve the humidity problem.
