Try covering the screen top with tinfoil, Saran wrap, or a wet towel (obviously leaving a small space open for ventilation)

Or you could get a piece of plexiglass, and drill holes for ventilation.

Also, how are you measuring these temps? Honestly, a heat gun is amazing. If you're using an analog thermometer, chances are your temperatures are way off.
Thanks! I don't like to rush into things and then end up worse for wear so I do my research and try to do it right the first time. I'm currently trying to steady my temps and humidity for the next week and hopefully get my BP next weekend.

To the OP, I noticed you didn't mention humidity in your post and unless you already have a hygrometer, you will need to get one of those too. It's best to get a digital thermometer that's also capable of reading humidity. In my setup, I'm currently using 2 thermometer/hygrometer combos (both for ambient air, one on the hot side and one on the cold side), a thermostat for the under tank heater (UTH), and a table top light dimmer for my heat lamp. Personally this might be a bit of overkill but it allows me to monitor the enclosure that much more closely.
