You may want to consider putting that heat lamp on a dimmer if not on a rheostat/thermostat.
Currently i have the heat lamp on the herpstat along with the flexwatt, im getting the flexwatt around 93 and the ambient temp on cool side is 76-77. I have 3 temp/humidity gauges in there. The one that's under the cool hide says 76 (its a zilla brand) and the cool side temp that's being measured with an accurite is 77. warm air temp above the warm hide is 74.

Still messing with it and moving things around a little, im really hoping that i can keep the lamp on the herpstat for safety reasons, but i bought a rheostat just in case

Thanks again!
