Were you using a thermostat with your heat pad? Any heat source can get too hot if it's not controlled with a thermostat. What you described sounds typical of an uncontrolled heat pad.

Also, I'd suggest an RHP rather than a heat lamp if you can afford it, because lamps make it very difficult to maintain humidity.
