Ohh alright, I raised the probe a bit and I turned my lamp back down to 88 F and so far the top of the hide is 90, the cool side is 79-82 and the bottom of the warm hide is at 83. Though I just started it up about an hour ago so I'm gonna let it run all day again and make sure it stays stable.
And I'm really silly, I DO have a UTH on a thermostat right now which I'll use on the tub when I move my snake, I just can't test it atm cause it's being used on the tub he's currently in. So I will have a UTH to use with the CHE under the warm spot to keep the ground around 89-90 when he's actually in itSorry I was really tired last night lol
Thanks for the response! I lowered it to 88 but I'll also try 87 in a few hours if the hide still remains too hot.
