    EDIT re-reading your post: so your warm spot is 95°, not 88° F, which IMO is too high when you can adjust it with your thermostat. adjust the thermostat so the bottom of the enclosure reads 90° F and you're good to go.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I can do that! The above substrate temps will drop a lot though, probably 83 which seems low to me? ;0;
