I thought about getting a bigger one later and use it for one of my BPs. How well does the heat penetrate? How does the temp inside the hide compare to the substrate surface?

I like the enclosure. How big is it?
inside the hide since its a little bit humid about 70% solid. and by the time the UTH soaks through the surface temp in there is about 96*F he really seems to enjoy that temp in there so i have kept it that way. also i find if he is in his hide getting nice and toasty his feeding response is off the wall fast when i drop in a feeder. . i know its because of the temps.

outside the hide on the hot side its 90*f right on. and the cold side with the waterfall is 80*F i don't really need the heat lamp any more now that i have switched to aspen it allows more of the UTH through on both sides and since i have them regulated now ive got this cage running 100% to my satisfaction. now if i remove the Hide from the aspen the underside of the Hide is about 100*F according to my IR temp gun, but if i then flip it and take a reading of the inside temp its only 94*F so it doesn't soak all the way throung. its thick. hods the head and doesn't burn my buddy.
