Okay so I have an update, I adjusted the heating pad yesterday and monitored it every hour since and it seems to be at a constant 88 - 94, I will continue to monitor it but I think it's okay.

The top of my cage is wire mesh, but I cover it with a thick towel to retain humidity and heat, it's worked this far.

I also removed his substrate and replaced it with paper towel, ,now I just have to find betadine but here in Canada it's apparently not sold at Walmart or shoppers drug mart so I have to figure out where to get it.
