Just to get this correct, you're using only the UTH and the hot side hide is getting up to 90*? If that's it, then then your temps are perfect, actually you could even go a degree or two higher if you wanted.

I'd say forget about the red bulb unless things get REALLY cold and you need the extra heat.
