Ok, so I have everything together that I need for my cage and set it up last night. I want to make sure that everything is working before I get my BP. The humidity is 70% and the temp on the cool side stays at 80 degrees. The only problem so far is on the warm side. I purchased a heating pad from Walmart that stays on all the time. On the highest setting the temp inside of the warm hide only got up to 85. I have a bout an inch and a half of substrate on the bottom. Should I lower this level so that it will be closer to the heating pad (the rubbermaid is sitting on top of it) or should I get some kind of heat lamp to compensate?

Thanks
