I keep my heating pad at 85-88, I would think 95 on the heating pad is alittle too hot.

95 is ok, but I would’nt let it go any higher. I keep my tanks around 92. I would also bring your cool side temp up at least to 85

See if you can get an under tank heater and put that under one end of your cage. If the sticky thermometers you have are the ones that change color they are for estimates only. I use the old fashion liquid thermometers that have suction cups on them and fasten then to the inside of the tank. You can also buy digital thermometers that have a probe and you can hang them in the tank. You only need one on each end of the tank. I also check the bottom on the tank by touching it with my hand once in a while and it should be just barely warm. Good luck.
