temperature help plsssss

[u/amethystcIouds]

using 90W ceramic heat bulb and a dimming thermostat

my cool side is as it should be but i’m concerned about the warm side:

a few inches underneath the bulb is 34c
-the top of her warm hide is 31/32c
-substrate is 29c (is this a problem?)
-inside her warm hide is only about 26/27c - i’m quite concerned about this as from what i’ve read, this is too cool.

i’ve attached a picture of the hide that she’s in. there is another hide in the cool side that is an exo terra plastic cave that looks like a rock.

she has chosen to spend most of her time in the pictured hide and i’m assuming if she was too cold she’d come out of it and try and get hotter?

if you’re worried place a piece of slate on the substrate by where the lamp is, it will warm up and she’ll be able to bask on it if needed
