ok, and ive just gotten around to taking the heat mat out and putting it under the enclosure instead of just under the substrate.

but i want to know some things.

should the heat mat be in direct contact with the enclosure?
should it also be in direct contact with the surface the enclosure is sitting on? (a spare bed...)..
or, should the enclosure be given little legs so that it isnt in direct contact with the mat?
or, should i both give the enclosure legs, and stick the mat to the bottom of the enclosure, so the mat has contact with the enclosure but there is space between the mat and bed?

please let me know and explain. thanks again
