I have two UTH connected to two thermostats. The Hot is set at 93 so its around 92-93 all day and the cool side is set at 83 and it changes to around 81-84 and the Humidity is at 60 so i think the temps are good. I use two Acurite thermometers that everybody swears by on this site to measure both sides to get the exact temperature. I use 4 inch plastic flower pots as hides and he loved them for about a week but then now he just chills on top of the cool side hide ever since i tried feeding him that hopper mouse and some of its blood dropped on the aspen bedding. He even seems jumpy of my presence now.
