Hmm, I've noticed my cool side has dropped lately (I guess because I've been using the air conditioner) and it's been ranging about 76-78. I haven't panicked, because it's not incredibly low, but ideally I'd like it a couple degrees higher. If I used an infared lamp with a heating pad will that increase the temp of the whole enclosure, or just on the hot side?
I've tried moving my heating pad over a few inches, but it didn't really make a difference. It's just warm on top of the heating pad, and right off of the heating pad it's like 10 degrees cooler, there doesn't seem to be much of a good gradient.
I know some people use a heating pad with a lamp, so I've been considering trying that.

I wouldn't have panicked with that, either. In fact, I might try just thinning the substrate a little on that end, if possible.

I'm using Lizard Liner Carpet, so that wouldn't work. But I've been considering going back to newspaper (so much easier for cleaning, my ball pees all the time). Do you think that would help with the heat too?

Nope it wouldn't help with heat, I'm using paper towels ... and its 93 on the warm side and 76 on the cool side.
