From what I have read and was told I placed the heat mat under a layer of substrate in the middle of the tank. From what I have felt it seems quite ok.
With the starter kit there was no thermoregualtor but just a simple switch off and on system. I've been quite confused about heating systems as every other internet search I read heat mats are not needed or lights are not needed.
Indeed I have no electrical thermometer or hygrometer but was recommended a dial version which feels quite tacky. it can't even stick to the sides so is quite loose on the ground level. From placing it in different areas humdity varies but temperature seems quite constant.
When I asked the helper at the store I was recommended against smaller hides like say a coconut as there would not be enough room :/
As I'm new to the forum I'm confused how to put the pictures up as it only allows URl links
Thankyou all so much for the help, I'm taking note of everything!
