Can I recommend this, can you get to a Petco and pick you up a Zilla night bulb (black light) or red night light (if you have too) 100 watt. Have it plugged into a thermostat and put the probe close to and just above the hide. the cold hide which doesn't have the UTH under it. I think you will find the temp will go up and be better heated with the 100 watt night bulb heat instead of the CHE not in addition with.
    That was my experience anyway.

    And congrats! on your new pet. And welcome to the forum. There are different folks here with sometimes different opinions but hopefully we can offer solutions that can help you decide how you want to do things. Some folks here have lots of experience some of us myself included not as much but we all like to be helpful in the way we think best.
