Unplug that heat lamp. First off it sucks the humidity right out of your tank. Second, it's a fire hazard, IMO.
You only need a UTH (heat pad). In regaurds to Josh, I tried to convince myself as well as others that I did not need a thermostat or a UTH. I was mistaken.
Kejen, get over to a hardware store and follow the directions from the link that I found for you below. I build two of them and they work like a dream. You need something to regulate the temp of that heat pad. They can get over 100F.

While you're at that hardware store, pick up a thermometer with a probe. It is probably one of the most important things in your tank. You can find them in the gardening section, most likely.
Lastly, do some research.
