Well i have a thermometer in the middle of the tank which shows me he ambient temp. of 85. i have a hide on the warmer side of the tank. which is also where the uth is and bulb. i also have a thermometer there showing 90-92.
i have a big water dish on the cool side. I would like to also mention that in order for me to keep the heat in more i put a really heavy sweater covering half the screen cover and side of the tank, and thats where she seems to stay most of the time, well all o f the time actually. and on that side its below 75 .

i am using aspen bedding as a substrate too.. she is an older 09 hatchling. not recent. i was told she was well established and etc.. .
