Humidifier is too cool?

[Faith.luu]

Why shouldn't I have two UTHs on opposite sides? I got that from a setup guide stickied on here -- I have a cool side and warm side UTH and they are controlled by separate thermostats. They are both kind of small but the recommended wattage for my tank size.

If you want to have a UTH on opposite sides, with your hot one set to 90 and your cool one set to around 75-80 then that’s fine. I just think it’s really unnecessary to have the cool side one since the only important part about cool temps is making sure that the air temps on that side are above 75, and a UTH is only good for heating up the floor of the enclosure.

Using a UTH for your hot spot is great for humidity because you don’t have to worry about adding a CHE for your hot side. As long as your snake gets proper underbelly heat, maintaining air temperatures of around 90 isn’t necessary. Just make sure you have air temps of at least 75 throughout the enclosure. So if you shift your CHE over closer to the cool side, you’ll be able to get proper temps there. But you stated above that your cool air temps are at 75, so I think you’re set up is good as is.
