It's EXTREMELY important to regulate ALL heat sources with a thermostat. It's literally the most important piece of equipment you can have.
Unregulated heat mats can spike to over 120° and cause serious burns or even death.
Heat lamps can also spike and be fatal.

Oh, and if you're talking dial style analog thermometers they are unfortunately I junk and wildly inaccurate. They can be off by as much as 15% or 15°.
You'll want to get digitals if you don't already have them.

80° is too cool for the warm side. You should be aiming for 84 ambient, 78-80 cool and a hot spot of 88-89 measured with a temp gun.
Sorry didn’t see the other half of your reply. Yeah they are the zoo med ones
Ok so I should turn up the heat lamp?
