If it's too cold right now, try a higher wattage light bulb on the hot end I would say. I'm not sure if "the right side" for you is the hot or cold end, or how you are heating your terrarium (which also greatly influences what temperature a normal thermometer gives). So a bit more details on exactly how you are measuring temperatures and how you are heating the place would help a lot.
i have a heat lamp on the right side of my terrarium i have two fittings but only use one of them on the right side. and my thermometer as well. how much wattage do i need to use then. my local pet store sells lot of lamps maybe this one Exo Terra UV B lamp 13 or 26 watt. i am heating the place with a single heat lamp. Thanks
