New guy needs help again! Freaking out

Also you can just go to Home Depot or any hardware store and buy a lamp dimmer(rheostat) and use that combined with a temp gun and thermometer with a probe. That's what im using atm until I get my Herpstat. The hydrofarm one I was told makes a loud clicking sound everytime it comes on or goes off and its not a proportional like Herpstat. FYI though, Herpstats are the best. I got one on my red tail boa and I love it, just wish I had gotten a Herpstat 2 or 4 since now I need another for this baby. I use paper towel as substrate since my BP is just a baby but i'll probably switch her over to aspen like my red tail boa to make cleaning days easier once I get her into her Proline cage. But if I were you and on a budget, get a lamp dimmer and assuming you already have a temp gun, which all reptile people should have :) , and of course the thermometer with probe like the Acurite ones, you should be good until you get the cash for something better.

Red belly and ATLEAST 95? May be a bad burn

Another thing. Heating lamps are not necessary, might be too hot. Also a thermostat is an absolute must have. I got my jumpstart thermostat on amazon for 30 bucks and works fine.
