Thanks for the info.
Just to clarify, I do have a thermometer above the hide on the glass halfway up and a thermometer in the center halfway up on the glass.
Are you saying i should have a thermometer in the hides too?
I felt this hide wwas too wide open. Thanks.

Hydrofarm thermostat is $30 on amazon
It should be replaced with a better one like a herpstat

Get a digital thermometer from Walmart called an accurite, its $12 and measures 2 temps.
