Should I move the hide to the cool side?

I do have a thermostat

I have it on high, but the temp is still on the low side. Does the thermostat limit the heaters power even on the high setting?

That's a rheostat.

With a thermostat you actually set the temperature and a probe measures the temp and the tstat then adjusts the amount of power being supplied accordingly.
