if it feels like a sauna in the tank, why are you using the heating pad as a blanket???? (i think my brain's asleep tho ... *grin*)
but to answer ... i've always had heating pads in various places for iZ to lay on ... (i'd recommend keeping it on the lowest setting tho).. much safer than a heat rock!
i think you could use a bit more ventilation too ... maybe not screen the *whole* top ... but at least part of it ... that way you could also put the light on the outside of the aquarium and prevent possible burns ...
(get a thermometer too ... much easier than guestimating at the temp! *grin*)
did that help at all????
happy herping :P + :)
