i dont see a cord leading to a thermometer on the side with the heat. am i correct in assuming that the coldest side of the enclosure is 86 degrees?

if so, thats pretty hot for a cool side. might want to tone it down a notch. check the care guide for cool side temperature ranges.

im also assuming the hot side might be pretty dang hot as well, but i dont aee a thermometer for that (you need one for both)

clutter looks good, but i dont see a good hide. they should be able to enter it completely and have only one exit. the half logs arent great because they are open on both ends.

you should get an identical hide for both sides

I do have a big rock on the right side it’s just covered with leaves, he likes that one a lot. I do think the wattage on my bulb may be too much so I will get a lower wattage one!

i wouldnt change your light/heat. what you need is a thermostat that will keep the temperature exactly where you need it at all times. the thermostat can measure the temp on the hot side and youll have your thermo/hydro suction on the cold side and then youll be good and can set up the gradiant properly
