I have 2 walmart temp/humidity digital guages in the enclosure, one on the warm side and one on the cool side. Cool side temps are in the mid-high 70's and warm side is low to mid 80's. Humidity is between 50-60% consistently. I have a cheap digital thermometer with prob inside the warm side hide above the UTH, and have been setting it to turn off at 93F. I checked with a temp gun last night and I think that thermometer is reading higher than the actual temps. The temp gun was a good 5 degrees cooler than that thermostat but right on with the ones from walmart, so I may allow the UTH to heat up a little more. I have a better thermostat arriving today , so hopefull that will help.


I also picked up another UTH and a CHE with a dimmer thinking maybe that would be a good way to heat up the rest of the tank... to bring up the ambient temps. Any thoughts before I cut a 9" hole in the top of this plastic box? I know I may have a hardtime time with humidity, but I want the bp to stay warm.
