The temp on the cool side need to be between 80 to 84 and on the warm side it need to be between 90 to 94


The temp needs to get temp reading at the bottom of the enclosure not at the top. Strips or dial thermometer are useless and do not give an accurate reading.



The best way to check the temp on both side is to buy a Digital Accurite thermometer from walmart or lowes you put the prob on the substrate on the warm side and you put the other part on the cool side so you can get an accurate reading of both temp and also humidity.
