no, the hot side (air can be included in this (though it doesn't have to be) should be 88-92 degrees, and the cool side needs to be between 78-82 (all of the air in the cage can be this temperature as long as a UTH provides a 88-92 degree basking spot. (UTH's do not change the temperature of the air in a cage)
When you measure your UTH's temperature you are measuring this with either a temp gun or a probed thermometer on the floor of the cage directly over the UTH correct?
No part of the cage should ever be below 75 degrees or above 95 degrees.
