so i am just so frustrated.... i cant seam to get my Leos cage to get to a high enough temp...
in her hot hide its about 92 to 95 f the cold side was staying around 71 and so i went and got a blue night glow light hoping it would help and it has only raised the temp to 75f... i'm just so frustrated... i have tried covering up one side of the screen so it would help hold in the heat better but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.... what should i do guys?

Honestly I would not worry too too much about the cool side. Because your hot side is hot enough she has the areas in between to regulate her temperatures. There is a gradient there for her so she can decide what temperature she would like. The most important thing she needs is the hot side to be accurate and it is so that is good.

that's a relief.... but the only thing that bothers me is that her moist hide is on the cool side and she never goes in there. i'm worried about her not shedding right and she is starting to look pale so i think she is ready to shed. any ideas?

Move her moist hide to the middle or so so that she get some of the heat going with it. At least that way it will be somewhat warm.

It's actually a remarkable gradient you've got there.
