Newcomer looking to jump into the scene.

I have about four pages of newspaper in total for the substrate. And I was thinking about adding more ventilation holes, but wouldn't that put my temperature in worse shape than it's in?

I usually use 2 sheets of newspaper, you might try that. Also, is the UTH on a thermostat? If so, what have you set the thermostat temps to?

I haven't found that adding more ventilation holes reduces the heat. If you'll go back earlier in the thread and look closely at the pictures I posted, you'll see two rows of holes along the upper half of the tub.

However, you could try a smaller water bowl, or move it more to the cool side.
