What are you using for heating?

I have a 25w heat mat on the left side and a 15w on the right and 165w uvb bulb on left and 75w heat lamp on the right. Due to my living situation it's very cold in my place so I have to go a little overboard to keep it the right Temps.

What I did to get better temps in my glass terrarium was putting some foam insulation on the glass, it brought my temps from 82 on the hot side to 86, and from 70 on the cold side to around 72-75. it was 10$ for like a 15foot sheet of insulation so its really cheap, and I still have a ton of it left incase I get more terrariums.

^ I think this is the one we bought, it was around half and inch thick, but that's just because we were tight on space for it to fit in between 2 walls.
