Hello I recently became a new owner of a 2.5 month old female Bel (even though her eyes are black not sure if they become blue as she gets older?) From xyz. She got very comfortable with her setup after a day or so. We fed her a live small/medium mouse in a Rubbermaid 3 nights after receiving her. I am so happy that she is doing so well. She does spend ALOT of time in her warm side hide. She comes out at night for about a minute or two to stick her head in the water dish to "drink". My only concern is that I have two digital thermometers that r very inaccurate and read low 70s and are placed about 2 in. Above substrate. However tho my zilla analog therm/hyrgo read about 80 and 50ish hum. My temp gun roughly is about the same for the sub. Just over 80ish on the warm side. I do have a pad hooked up to a thermostat and that reads between 85 and 90.

My question

My light is a mini halogen by zilla with a 25 watt day (day) and a 25 watt red (night) with the way that Temps seem to b in the high 70 to low 80 if barely even over 80 I never have seen it hit 85 (zilla analog gauge the digitals are garbage I think. Should I upgrade my main day bulb to a 50 watt halogen so I can have higher ambient air temp. Or should I just leave it the way it is since my BP is acting normal?

Thanks guys
