The hot side should be 90 at the surface of the terrarium not on top of the substrate IMO. If you need the heat lamp you can get a small shoe box and fill it up with water and put it under the heat lamp. And use cypress mulch or something to keep the humidity high. What kind of cage is it? It it's a glass tank with a screen top put damp towels on top (avoid the heat lamp)! That saved the humidity in my tank! I also would move the water bowl under the lamp
