Where to put heat pad; near lamp or not?

[Nabbig2]

I have a 20g long, and I want to get the temperature higher; it ranges from 70-80. Should I put the heat pad near where the heating lamp is, or on the other side, or what? Thanks.

Why would you try and heat two sides? You want a gradient from cooler to warmer

70-80 is good for a corn anyways, without bumping it up.

Okay, cool. But at the store they were keeping baby corns well above 80; atleast at 85. Isn't that a bit too warm?

Its not too warm. Just keep yours at 85* hotspot, 70-80 ambient

I put all the heating elements on one side. The lamp should warm up the cooler side just for being in a tank.

You sure post a lot of threads that probably should of been looked up before getting the snake.
