Quastion about bulbs and heating

[PitOnTheProwl]

I have a thermostat hooked up that provides power to all of it so that the lamps don't roast him as well as the UTH I have a thermometer that is mounted inside his hide that gives me the temp just a mm above the substrate

This wont work unless your stat is for multiple zones. A thermostat can only regulate items of the same wattage. In your case it should only be controlling your UTH

@OP: If the UTH is not working, but the lamp is getting you the temps you need, then go ahead and just remove the UTH.
