Righto ill up the temp on the heat end.. on the cool end.. any advice for warming that up?

Quick Question, Thinking of putting in a UVB/Heat bulb in the cool end to ensure it stays around 24c plus will get the benefit of extra UVB.

Doing this will ensure both cool end and the warm ends are ok.. think this is ok?

Would that be 2 heat/uvb bulbs on the one table? It could end up being too warm in the cool end then, I'm not sure. Maybe the ceramic heater on a thermostat would be better or just a basic spot bulb. Hopefully someone more experienced will advise you on that Adam, I'm not qualified

I have a long UVB against one side with a reflector then a heat bulb at one side leaving nothing on the cool end as seen in my pics earlier on in this post.

The heat bulb is on a thermostat to try keep it 90-94f in the basking area.
The cool end espcially in there hide is too cool.. wonder if i made the hide too big??

My idea was to get another heat system in that area on a themostat that only comes on if goes below 20c
