A uth running on full blast bottom mounted isn't really safe for any animal, those things get HOT

any specific brand? I am using zilla and have not noticed any harm to my little guy. I have switched heating pads but still no change even misted the entire tank. it dawned on me however of a post I did oh maybe a month ago that I was thinking of using a stronger watt bulb to keep him warm so I will try that and check my little one's feet. I handle him alot and don't notice him acting hurt. just windering if the stonger bulbs don't work what would you sugguest3? I was thinking the medium heating pad since my room in the basement, colder then the main level so though the tank is 5 gallons smaller then the minimum it would work but if that will harm him..or 2 small heating pads on the back left and right corner of the tank since it's not as strong as a medium heat pad..medium heating pad wouyld be placed in the center. opinions and suggestions are welcome and needed A pic of my tank set up. maybe this will help you all help me
