You to need to move it away from directly being against it because you getting the temp of the glass and not the actual ambient air temp. If you move that probe about an inch or 2 you see temp drop even more, and that is were it needs to be because he doesn't sit right against glass. You could find a hygrotherm on ebay or amazon, and a lot people use the ceramic heat emitter or heat producing light and fogger hooked up to the hygrotherm. And if that probe isn't were your getting your temp reading from disregard that part. If its from that analog gauge you can move it right to the middle of that wall about an inch above the substrate, and if it is your temp reading will go up. And digital gauges are more accurate.
Thanks a lot sir! Now this is what i did before going to sleep last night, i'm too concerned about my lil guy.
I bought, in combination these products:

1-Reptile planet thermo Hygrostat Repti control pro



1- 100W Terra ceramic heat emitter



(Yeah this is the 150 version but anyway, brand and shape are the same)

1-Repti socket pro



I was basically tired to have issues and i bought all the expensive stuff needed in one time. I'm also getting an automatic fogger for the Hygrotherm, so i wont have ANY issues with temps and s**t.

What do you guys think?
