80 seems a bit warm for his cool side. Are you able to see what the humidity is at?

I also find that a uth is better than a heat lamp since the lamp generally dries the air out and a uth helps aid in humidity with the right set up.

Other than that it sounds like you have a fine set up.

The humidity is around 30% because I live in Ohio and the humidity is always higher.
I've tried a uth but it didn't raise ambient tank temperature enough and didn't really give a gradient in temperature. Although the hot spot was perfect. How high should his cool side be? I can look into a lower wattage bulb preferably a CHE.
