I did read around first but still need a specific answer, as in the future I will be able to buy the stuff to control temps every where but right now I only have a pad and 1 light, the pad can keep the temp 85-90 (used by its self)on high, but during the day I combine the light and pad in same spot to keep 85-88 so that ralf has "top and bottom" heat, BUT . . . .. my cool side is apparently too cool, 70-75, max.
Would it "cook" ralf's belly if I used the pad (by its self) on high to obtain all warm side temp, or is it just heat rocks that do that?
Then I could center the lamp on top of the screen (covered) therefore raising the temp on the cool side more around 80'sh?
BUt what do I do at night for the cool side when light is off?

BTW: I have recently corrected multiple things that were stressing him out, (humidity,hiding, 24hr light etc) and he is choosing to STAY in the 70 deg. hide spot 80 percent of the time, PLEASE HELP. . .
