Cool side is perfect, hot side is a little low but will be fine until you get the rhp. Do you have your herpstat probe inside the cage? If so I would move it to between uth and bottom of cage and bump up the thermostat. If it is inside the cage urine, poop, or your snake moving the probe can make the Herpstat not heat right and burn your snake. Paper towels are fine, you should be measuring temp when using a uth under the substrate and make sure it is no hotter than 94. Did you already order the rhp? Do you know what size to get?
