I know...I'm a pain :)

So I put a bit of cardboard on the bottom of the tank. The temp directly on the bottom (over the carboard) is 100 F. Is this still to hot? Should I put more stuff down?
The temp at about half an inch over the pad (.5 in of substrate) is about 95 F.
The surface is about 80 F (about 1.5 inches of substrate).
The cool side is staying at a pretty constant low to mid 70 F.

This gradient sound good? Or should I get that 100 F down a tad more?

Also, whats a tolerable humidity? Right now the humidity guage in the tank says about 68%. I've read this is a tiny bit too high (60% being in the normal habitat or so it says...sounds a bit high to me).
How can I get it lower?
Should I get it lower?
