Thank you! I always see your reply's in other threads. Really appreciate the advise and information you provide I did get probe and placed it under his bedding on the warm side. I was getting a great reading (90 w/probe under hide on warm side, ambient 85, and cool side was sitting about 77) Then the DAMN UTH broke down so waiting for a replacement to come in the mail which should take about 10 more days as per the manufacture. Currently trying to keep my ambient up above 85 since I no longer have a UTH. My previous warm side probe is now sitting at 77 and i slid my red light (stays on 24/7) over to the previous cool side as he prefers that hid. Just checked this morning and the temp was 90. It dropped to 87 when I uncovered a bit of the top screen, currently have a towel covering some of the top just to hold more heat in. Hoping that I can still feed him tonight (our weekly schedule) if I can keep the ambient heat over 85
