With your warm side analog and probe reading at least 80 where they are placed right now, I'm almost 100% positive that the temperature on the glass right above the heat pad is well above that. See if you can move the probe to under the substrate as close to in contact with the glass directly above the heat pad as you can. It's not the best solution, as your snake will move it around, but it will give you a better idea of the actual warm side hot spot temperature. That's where the infrared thermometer comes in - you can just slide the substrate aside, aim it at the glass, and know your hot spot temp in an instant without having a probe in the tank at all.
