I am brand new to this and have a rescued BP. I have the tank set up with 2 UTHs and a temperature control. I have 2 indoor/outdoor thermomoters on each side with the probe just under the substrate and and actual unit about 4 inches from the bottom of the tank. I also have 2 separate probes that are on the glass just above the heaters. I have about gotten the temps right, but am worried becasue my UTH needs to be at about 98-100 for me to get the heat on the substrate correct. I have about 2 inches of aspen in there. Should I remove some of the aspen or change linings or cover the heaters with something (I am afraid that this will reduce my heat even more). I cannot sleep for checking on the temps all day and night.
Sorry for the long post, but just want to get this right. She has been through enough already without my struggles with the temps!
