    Also any suggestions on substrate?
    UTh should be no hotter than 95*F. I shoot for 90-92*F.

    I would move the flukers to an inch or two above the bottom of the tank on the hot side. You can then put the accurite unit on the cool side to get temps and humidity over there.

    A lamp should only be used if the air temps are below 75*F. If they are low, get a low wattage light and place it over the cool side (side opposite the UTH). That way the lamp doesn't suck too much humidity and help bring up ambient temps.

    I personally use paper towels with all my animals. Works just fine
