I use Repticarpet only on the warm side. I cut it into peices a little larger than the footprint of the hide and use it as an additional barrier. If you do this just make sure that the substrate you cover it with is not too thick so the heat will radiate. I just change out the the Repticarpet each week when I clean the cage and change substrate. Then I wash the carpet and put it back in line for future use...
