The warm side is right where it should be, at 85-90. The middle temps are about 80, acting more as the cool side right now, while the actual cool side is in the low 70’s. I can’t bump up the thermostat without the warm side getting too hot, is there something I’m missing? Bob from pro products recommended I mount the panel to one side for a larger gradient but those low temperatures don’t seem appropriate. Should I try moving the probe somewhere else?

Also, I’m having an issue keeping the humidity up. I finally got it to 70 but that’s the highest I’ve been able to get it. I use a mix of eco earth, cypress mulch, and sphagnum moss.

The panel is going to heat the same regardless. I use the probe on the cool side as well with zero issues. I will agree with what someone said on here is that you are losing heat. Curious as to how you are checking the temperatures throughout the enclosure? heat gun or digital stats? When you bought the panel did you tell bob everything about that specific set up?

Big things are:

Enclosure size
Ambient room temperatures
Is the cage on a concrete floor or close to one?
