I don't like those sticky thermometers, they've never been acurate for me. Are you using a UTH or flexwatt for the hot spot or just a lamp?
I have been using a small undertank heat pad under one hiding place and two lamps during the day and I use one black light lamp at night.... I am so confused on the temperatures... all the guy told me to do was keep the tank between 80 and 90 with a warm and cold side.... I feel so bad I was so off he is probably freaked out. He uses the heat pad hot spot at night and the lamp hot spot during the day... Is that wrong too?
