Humidity Problems

So the zoomed uth can be adjusted to 90 degrees? And I also read online that UTH's can malfunction and get up to like 120, have you ever had anything that drastic happen? Also what substrate do you use?

By its self no, you plug in the Zoo Med or heat tape into a thermostat, set the thermostat to the temp you want, in this case 90 degrees, then adhere a probe from the thermostat to the UTH. Depending on the type of thermostat, once the probe senses the temp you set it to, it will either limit the power to the UTH to maintain the 90 degrees (proportional) or shut it off completely. (on/off). Most like proportional thermostats because it consistently maintains the desired temp. A on/off style like the hydrofarm for example, will shut off once it reaches the desired temp but usually won't turn back on until 3-5 degrees below the temp you set it to.
