Thanks for the replies everyone!
But it seems I may have another problem. I got the thermostat and put the heat pad temp at 79F - 83F (it changes throughout the day but doesn't get higher than 83F. Also I would like to note I have removed his heat lamp.). The problem is that my bp no longer wants to use it, he stays on the cold side 24/7. Im worried because before I knew of this I fed him.
