Also what type of blanket do you use.I have a fluffy soft white one that I wrap around him but he always wiggles out I have to wait like 20 minutes before his body tempeture goes down and he starts to find a place to burrow into me, but before that if i take him out instantly its almost impossible to get him right into a burrito
With the heating pads it's hit or miss. I prefer ones that don't shut off automatically because I keep my house cool and sometimes I forget to turn it back on. I also don't like ones that get really hot. Overheating can be dangerous with the really hot pads.
I don't wrap my guys like a burrito, I do like @NickAVD and just drape the pad over them.
If your beardie still has energy to burn, let him/her do so for a few minutes. Generally they'll find someplace and settle down. At that point snuggle your beardie up and enjoy 🙂

Im not planing to use a heating bad inside of the enclosure only as you suggested I would place it under the blanket therefor the blanket would be heated
That works also, just be sure to keep an eye on it until you know for sure how hot it gets. I've had a couple that just got way to hot.

I dont understand what you mean by drape the pad over them.That seems dangerous sense its on top of them
Beardies don't sense heat from the bottom. They will sit there long enough to cause injury. But from the top when they get to warm they move out from under it.

but what if I get one of those large heating pads meant for humans when they are injured and then I put another blanket over that its kinda big and I was planning to put it under him and wrap the same blanket on top of him so the heat is transferred through the blanket it it kinda warms him, but i don't know if i can put it above him because again its big

You can do that, just be sure to check the temperature every little bit till you are 100% certain it isn't to hot for him.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
