commercial uths come with bumper feet that you use to make an airspace between the uth and the surface it sits on (like a table) so the back side does not get too hot.

You could go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a couple of 18" tiles to set on the carpet then put your tank on top of them.

I agree with Pit. I'm currently using small slate tiles and they seem to be doing a good job of controlling the air flow under my BP's enclosure.
Belly heat is not needed for digestion that is actually a myth. That said belly heat is much easier to control and get right than lamps. They can be made to work but is isn't as easy. For any heat source you should have a regulator of some sort.
Hmm the vet said that belly heat is the best and is great for digestion.
