What wattage is your heater? Rule of thumb is 5 watts per gallon, so at 10g you should be using no more than 50watts for the entire tank, unless you are in an extreme cold environment and 50watt heater isn't doing enough then you can go up a bit more on wattage, otherwise 50watt should be maximum.

One thing you can try though, if you prefer to keep the current heater as-is, I recommend this product to externally help regulate the temperatures: https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Thermostat-Temperature-Controller-50-108°F/dp/B01M6WMUYI/

Basically plug your heater power cable into this thermostat outlet controller, set the desired temperature range on it, plug the thermometer probe into the thermostat outlet controller, and the longer/bigger silver tip goes all the way submerged into your tank's water (put it further away from the heater for more accurate readings). If the set temperature range is surpassed, this outlet thermostat controller will cut power to your heater until the lowest range has been met again. I set mine on 77-79 F and it always maintains the proper temperature range at around 78 F, regardless of what the heater does.

I use heating strips — hard to tell in the pic. I’ve got black fabric headbands around them to cover the big green text printed around the outside of them ‘cause it bugged me haha. I have the three strips plugged into an extension cord which is plugged into an Inkbird digital thermostat (probably not 100% safe, but I wasn’t buying 3 thermostats haha). I have the probe taped to the outside of the middle jar (since I don’t like the idea of leaving it submerged in the brew). Heat strips: here ; thermostat here

I use this on my radiant oil heater:

Set it and forget it, even has a probe.

Well it sounds like you're doing most everything right!

I'm not sure how much you've looked into thermostats but I'm currently using an Inkbird thermostat and a Hydrofarm and I like both of them! There's also the more reptile friendly ones like herpstat but your price range becomes $80+

Again, I'd recommend going with paper towel for his setup and possibly unplugging that unregulated heatpad... but I'm no expert! I'd also suggest leaving him alone for at least a week now that he's home beyond giving him water and checking to see if he's passed anything!

Thanks for being receptive to advice :) I'm super happy to help you can PM me if you need anything else! Also, Mojave isn't a recessive trait it's an incomplete or co-dominant trait. There's honestly so much to learn about morphs, literally thousands of combos!

it was mentioned, but here is the link....try one of these

IF your heater doesnt turn off on its own, this will shut it down when it gets to the temp threshold of this heater controller.

If temperature in the room is not below 68F/18C, they should live. But I kept them with a cheap preset for tropical fish heater 50W and they were well, active and reproduced a lot. Some source of water flow will be necessary to distribute heat evenly.

There are flat or small heaters without termoregulation (search for betta heater), the better to connect to external temperature controller.

Yes, they should be the same, Inkbird also could be used for heating pads. See it here. Probe goes under water, away from heater, and maximal temperature should be set. Temperature fluctuation should be around 2C.

Try this. I've used it for camping trips and it works great.

Couple it with this. And keep it below 75.
