Everything is brand new, so I don't think it is the equipment. I got everything set up from the pet store, but I have learned they didn't really know what they were talking about. Here is everything I have:
29 Gallon tank
10lb sand (I know, not supposed to be used, will be changed)
Water dish
2 Caves
Large Log
Fake plants
2 stick on thermometers
1 stick on hygrometer
1 small UTH
1 5.5" heat lamp (75 watt max)- currently using red heat light
I just bought an 8.5" 150 watt max heat lamp, and will be using a 100 watt white bulb as of tomorrow to try to increase temp.
I don't live in a barn...but I do live in an old farm house in northern Michigan, and it is pretty cold. We keep our heat at 67 degrees in the house.
Here is a picture (at least I hope it shows up that way!):
