Troubleshooting with heating!

I've got a Hog Island Boa in a 40 gallon breeder tank. She needs the usual temps for a boa- 80 ambient, 90 hot side, 95 basking.

I've got her on a undertank heater usually (will be installing a new one in a couple of days) and a 50watt daytime bulb (the 75watt one brought the basking spot to 120!!) The bulb turns off at night. The temp readings I took were: 100 or 107 on her basking spot... but only 80 or 82 on the floor of the hot side. The temp gun read 90 degrees on average for the temps of the branches on her basking spot.

Halp.
