The heat pads made for reptile should not be putting off heat you can feel. If it feels warm to you it's too hot!

Human heats pads are just that: Heat pads for humans.
They are not appropriate for reptiles.

You need a heat pad that can be controlled by a thermostat to go down to 90 degrees or less. Human heat pads are not that.

I have 3 zoo-med heat pads, they all work great, and have been for months. One is almost 10 years old and it still works.
But they have to be on a thermostat or rheostat.
