hey guys I just recently purchased a bp from a pet store.

I am having trouble with heating. i got a heating pad, the instructions said to stick it tothe side of the tank...(theres an adhesive side)....is this right. I feel like the glass tank gets to cold for it. as of right now i have one of those sticker thermometers which isn't very reliant.

Should I move the heating pad to the bottom of the glass cage? and if so should I adhesive it to the bottom or just put it under there so its not touching the glass?
My setup as of right now is during the day I keep the heating pad and heat lamp on during the day and at night I just turn off the heat lamp. It seems to get too cold for it, my buddies played with it late at night and said wen they picked him up it was mad cold and moving sluggishly.

I've looked all over sfor info, but i've yet to find anything specific to my liking.

I am thinking of tinfoiling and ducktaping some of the top the screen top to insulate..sound like a good idea?

If anyone has any suggestions feel free. cause i feel like I am not doing this right, and it has me worrying at.....4:30 in the morning
