 Heating Qs

This maybe a stupid question but I wanna make sure everything is right. I have a bin that is 34.1 X 18.1 X 15.9 in and I got a 20 gallon uth. Should I get a bigger one. It seems a little small. Here is a shot of it.


Inside the hot hide it get in the low 90s but right outside of it it is only like 80F and on the other side its 76. From doing research so far I think I do but I wanna just make sure. I have had no experiance with uth only heat emitter.
Thanks

I have read several places that about 1/3 of your floor space should be covered by the UTH, depending on the temps of your house (year round) this can very. I highly doubt people in like the desert of AZ need a huge heating pad.

Well my room temp is about 76 so should i just move the mat to the center of the far side and see how the temps are?
