OH! I do that but I took it off so you guys could see the set up His heat mat is in the corner where the critter keeper is. Normally his tank hide is right there and then the lamp is normally in the middle though because I have to keep the temp gradient cause the other side has his water and moss hide. Is that a bad setup? Cause I know you shouldn't really put a heat lamp over the heat mat

You don't keep the temp gradient. The temp gradient does that on its own.Just move it to the hotside, and let the cool side be cool as it should. Putting it in the middle messes up the gradient.

Example: 100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75 with hides and good stuff along the trail
Example with a heat lamp: 90, 95, 93, 90, 85

(Just an example, but you get the point, its not ideal to have a heat lamp in the middle of an enclosure unless its very large)
