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?

OK you have a rheostat...that will work. If its set on high your UTH is probably close to 120 degrees. Do you have a digital thermometer with a probe? Or an analog one? You will need the one with the probe so you will know what the temp is above the UTH. An analog thermometer will not tell you that. They are inaccurate anyways even for ambient temps and pretty much useless.
