I've posted about getting help for my Ball and I've been buying things little by little. I have a 66qt Sterilite that's long and short. I just finished receiving my 17x11 Ultratherm from RBI. Great service. Recommended.

Anywho.

My house stays at a constant 75F all day long. I have a Rheostat for the pad and when I fired up the pad it reached to 103F. 104F is peak. I have Repti Bark for substrate, hides and water bowl.

I have those glass thermometers and a Flukers digital thermometer. I also have a thermometer that I bought from RBI. The small pencil sized one. I'm using the thermometer from RBI and it reads 84F on the substrate.

Am I don't something wrong? Should I just go with newspaper? Get a smaller tub? Did I place the UTH wrong? I'll take pictures of the setup and post it up in a few.
