I'd put the probe between the heat mat and the tile. Check the top of the tile and when it's a steady 90F, set the temp that's showing on the thermostat (might be more than 90).

It's such a nice looking enclosure maybe you could eventually use something more naturalistic than paper towels for substrate.

Ye that was my problem.. how would I put the probe ontop of the heatmat and then the tile on the probe, the probe is quite big and thick

of the plexiglass, and it will give you your required hot spot.
will have to look into this thank you, But I really didnt want to have to be cutting the new vivarium I just bought haha..
