Hi,

To be perfectly honest I am not a fan of reptile carpet.

I use newspaper myself but your current substrate would be fine ( absorbant, easy to spot clean, unlikely to cause feeding issues etc. ) if you just made the layer thinner.

The 95f under the substrate ensures the snake can't dig down and be exposed to dangerously high temps and thinning the layer should bring the temps on top of the substrate closer to the ideal temps inside the warm end hide.
