That's another thing, so throughout September the hot spot temps ranged from about 92C to 98C and then I went home for reading week (im a university student in Canada and we get a week off for thanksgiving), i took him home and all was well, then i brought him back and went about my routine as normal but when i checked the temp they were like 102 - 108C and i had everything as I always have with the heat pad regulator but for some reason its screwy, so i turned it down and checked a few hours later and it still said about 102-106 in some places and 85 - 90 in others (this is all only the hot side, the middle and edges of the heating pad) so for some reason its super inconsistent, so i moved my heat lamp to accommodate and turned the heating pad down again because 106 is nuts!!

I use a heat gun to check temperatures because that what everybody at the CRBE, including the breeder i got him from, suggested i use.
