What are you using as a hot spot? Heat running down the back of the shelves?
Are they individual units stacked, or is the entire stack one unit?
I've seen many try and fail at using these because of the many cons that outweigh the pros, but you say it's working for you so I am quite curious.

They are individually unit stacked. If you look at the last picture, each unit has it's own sliding drawer. I use heat mats on the bottom of each drawer. There are spaces between so it won't burn the snakes from the top or bottom.
The hot spots are around 93 degrees, humidity around 70%.
At first, it wasn't working well due to high humidity, but then I made more holes and it's around 70% now. I have been using these for 3 months. No respiratory infections, and my snakes are eating like champs.
