Please get a digital probe if you dont have one and you need a digital probe hygrometer- place on back center wall of the tank - optimal humidity level is 30-50% nothing under 20 and over 70% - but you really need to get the 86 down if that is a true actual temp on cool side - has she been basking since you took the red bulb out?

If its on the screen make sure its 8-10 inches directly above her --- but I would definitely try getting it unobstructed w/ the 12-15 inches making it more 12 if you can - but you had posted it was 14.5 inches? correct - is that w/ no screen?
