She never even lays directly on the UTH since I did that, so I think she's safe from burns for now. But that's the biggest reason I looked into upgrading her enclosure with more space and a larger heat pad.

The only thermostat PetCo carried was a Zilla one for $53 e.X;;; I just hope it works well! I kept the receipt just in case. Got a medium sized Zilla UTH to go with it.

If anything I know I'm at least doing better than PetCo...their BP tank had the humidity on the 'desert' range as usual, and one of the poor dears already had a sunken eye. Reptiles always seem to be the least of everyone's priority in most pet stores, it infuriates me.
You are heading in the right direction, but if Kleo never lays on the hot spot, it means it's too hot. 70 Degrees on the cool side, and 80 on the hot side just cant work. If she lives through this either your temps are wrong, or she is the exception to the rule. What are you using to measure temps?
