Your snake is running from the heat
Is the UTH on a thermostat?
What are you reading the your temperatures with?
Oh wow I didn't realize that the temps were too high! I've usually read that hot side should be in the 90s and cool side in the 80s. I still have a lot of reading to do.
The UTH is not on a thermostat. I read temps with the regular dial thermometers. I know they're not as accurate as I would like them to be, but my parents hate it when I ask for supplies, since I lack money. I am trying to save up for the acu rite probe thermometer, though.
Should I remove the ceramic heater? When I do, the temp on the gauge goes from 95 to 80(not accurate, but still) very quickly. Should I just stick with the UTH?
I'm trying my best right now.
