Thanks everyone,
I have already shifted his stuff around on the cold side and made a more effective natural hide with plants and a log, he has since gone back there and not moved. I am trying to go find a thermostat today but for whatever reason petsmart does not keep them in stock. I am worried about unplugging the pad as my gf keeps the house COLD, we normally keep the a/c around 74-76 and down to 71 at night. Are the rest of my temps and humidity good ? Again my ambient temp is about 78-81 and humidity bounces from 55-70%
