Thanks for the fast responds!

I will go get a digital right after writing you!

Ok the UTH is from ZooMed and is the one which said for a 40Gallon Tank. I did not measure the UTH. I can't lift the tank to measure it now. It is to heavy and bulky for me alone.

I did lay the temp under the hide under the Aspen. The Aspen is about 1/2 inch of the ground.

Like I said the UTH has a reptile heat control hooked up to it so I somehow can control it. It's on high now and still has only 70F.

The lamp is not hooked up to anything I kind of just switch the W of the bulb to control it.

I hope that answered some of your questions so you can help me with mine.

I will run out get some of the thinks you guys said like the digital temperature with a probe.

Thanks again. i need to fix this fast as she already refused to eat some of her meal.
