Hot spot temps should be between 88-92. 95 is just too hot for long term.

It sounds like she just feels insecure. I'd work on getting a UTH WITH a thermostat, and try covering the top with something about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way. I also suggest getting black Con-tact paper from Home Depot, it's like $6 for the roll. Just cover the back and two sides with it, it blacks it out so she doesn't feel like she's out in the open....it makes the tank seem smaller and helps them feel more secure.
