73 isn't bad as long as he is over the heat pad. Make sure you have a tank liner in there under his substrate though. The glass will get hot and burn him unless its on the side of the tank in which case it won't matter as long as the UTH isn't low enough for him/her to lean on the glass and get burnt. You can buy a lamp that has a dial on it to adjust the brightness of the light and heat it produces. I use one of those and I use it at night with a infrared heat light. He/she should be fine though. You can also wrap plastic wrap around the lid of your tank to hold heat and humidity in. Just make sure to leave air holes to allow propper air circulation.
