Dont be so rude. I know hot air rises. The problem is its not enough hot air from the uth to make the air temp as high as i need it. It escapes through the lid. Even if you cover 75% of the lid, the heat from the UTH still wont make the air temps high enough.

My snakes hide spot on the hot side should be trapping the heat in from the uth. Does that mean i shouldnt worry about raising the air temps outside of the hide even though its on the hot side?
