New Tank.

Taking 3 Heaters To keep The Heat Up, One Under One On The Back And Another On The Side.
Back Temp Reading Against The Wood Where The Therm Is Is About 85-90 Which I know Is Too High.
Ground Temp On Warm End Reading 80 Ground On Cold Reading 74.5
Cold Wall Temp Reading 80.(i dont think that can be right)
These Sound Ok?
Or Is A Whole New Heater Set Up Needed.

Is this a glass tank or a wood tank?

Heating should be measured on the floor of the enclosure, which is where the snake would be laying. The bottom is the area of importance for heat. Is this where you are measuring?

The upper areas of the enclosure don't have to keep the gradient temps. If you are measuring from a thermometer on a side wall, it is an inaccurate representatoin of what the snake is getting at his level.

If you are measuring temps on the warm side, make sure you measure under the hide at substrate level. The hides tend to hold in heat. I can't figure out why you need 3 heaters to keep any sort of temperatures up to 82 on the warm side. Unless your house is kept at 50 degrees or something...Low to mid 70's at ground level is fine for the cool side, 82-85 on the warm. Belly heat will suffice if you don't have warm temps in the air of the room. Otherwise they do just fine with a warm air temp and a warmer spot to lay on if necessary.

Its sitting quite happily at 81 atm. And i live in scotland so the room temperaturs not too warm.

That temp would be fine.
