sage shell
sometimes she goes that corner and stands like this what could be the reason? she did not do this before i buy a heating pad. when i put the pad under her cave, she started to go there and stands frequently. (sorry if my english isn’t clear, it is my 2nd language)

it may be too hot. you typically want overhead heating vs a heat pad. is this connected to a thermostat?

Heat mats do work for keeping a leopard gecko alive. However, they are highly inefficient heaters, and they are not generally recommended as primary heat sources. Heat mats work by heating up a surface that they are touching (which is why they can't be used on the side of a tank; leos can't get on the sides!), but they lack the ability to raise ambient (air) temperatures, which leads to an unnatural shift in temperature between the warm spot and the rest of the enclosure. This also means that heat mats cannot create a good temperature gradient across the enclosure. Additionally, they only produce IR-C, which only heats the surface of your leopard gecko. This type of heating is less efficient, meaning your gecko needs to stay on it for longer, and it is not similar to the heat from the sun that they would get in the wild (IR-A and IR-B)

it is not connected to a thermostat

the pad can increase only 30 degrees when set to maximum
and i set it half just to be sure it is not that hot

!thermostat

Thermostats control the temperature of a heat source. Thermometers read the temperature of a location.
A thermostat is necessary for any heat source, but especially heat mats. Without one, your pet will very likely get burned due to high temperatures.
On/Off thermostats work by turning a heat source off when it gets slightly above a set temperature. They work with heat mats and possibly CHEs. These create some fluctuation in temperatures, but generally stay fairly close to the desired temperature.
Pulse proportional thermostats work by sending pulses of power to the heat source according to the temperature you set. It will send more pulses to heat up and fewer to cool down. These will fluctuate less than heat mats, but can still only be used with mats or CHEs, nothing that produces light.
Dimming thermostats work by controlling the exact amount of power a heat source is getting, only giving it enough to reach a set temperature. These produce the least amount of temperature fluctuations, if any at all. These work with any heat sources, including basking bulbs, DHPs, etc.
Dimmers are dials connected to a heat source, usually the lamp/dome that you screw a bulb into. Like dimming thermostats, they can control how much power the bulb is getting. However, unlike a dimming thermostat, they cannot adjust power unless done manually (by moving the dial), so if temperatures in your home change throughout the day or seasons, the dimmer will not adjust to this and could end up too hot or cold. Check the temperatures of heat sources on a dimmer frequently and be aware of the temperature changes in your home. It's recommended to add an on/off thermostat as a failsafe.

It looks like there’s a lot of things here that need to be worked on to make the enclosure comfortable for your friend
Can you read our !guide ?

Can I pop two pics here just to go with what anxiety child was saying

Let me know if anything in the guide is challenging for you to understand

Going off what anxietychild was saying about the heatmat being too hot and needing to be on a thermostat. These are from our helpful resources channel and shows exactly why a thermostat is important even for heatmats.
That’s all I wanted to add

omg :/
so i must check the heat often? right
i’ll search for a thermostat
