She even has been climbing , which i had to end due to the fact she got her head stuck and her body was hanging i caught it right away as i was watching her , gonna get her a reptile hammock!!! She even has started being nosey lol !!!!! I have a knotted tea towel over the uth and a thermostat to regulate just waiting for $ then i can buy a digital probe , weigh scale ect ect....

The UTH should be under the tank, the thermometer (you only need one) should be directly on top of the glass over the UTH. The thermostat should be set at 87°.

Mine is sitting 39.9 c on the hot and 22.2 c on the cold .... I just turned up my thermostate

That is WAY too hot for the warm side. Should be at 29C or 85F (give or take 1 degree Celcius, or 2 degrees Fahrenheit).
 
So. I have my thermostat on its lowest setting and my warm side is still reading 36.5 c .... My house is really warm during the day and night ( house holds heat horribly ) .... Not sure what to do ! Any ideas ??? She is very active since i bought her a hammock and place two paper towels together so she could climb.... I found her today on the cool side which reads 26.7 c ....

What is the setting on the thermostat? Is it digital? It should be able to program to 29°. How big is your viv and how much of the viv does the UTH cover?
 
Guys, I'm not sure but I think Nicole is using a rheostat. Nicole, didn't you post a picture of it and it's just got a dial on the front? And no wires that go inside the viv? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Absolutely correct has a dial with settings of low med and high .... I bought digital thermometers the suction cup to the viv i have them placed under the substrate ..... The urh plugs into the rheostat n it plugs into the wall lol .... I weighed her n she weighs 8 oz's (0.5 pounds) n she is two years of age

The uth covers a small rectangle of the viv but was for dessert climate animals.... Again my pet store had dessert and tropical thats it ... When i bought it i wasn't sure of the size i should obtain

The viv i know i need a long one but money is an issue she can stretch out cause i have seen her do it and she is a climber so thats why i have a hammock and two paper towel rolls together so she can climb
