I wasn't sure if others were putting their thermometers actually under the bedding or using "probes" that ran from under the bedding up to an electronic thermometer that may be attached to the wall.

What is your heat source? I don't know how I'd get the heat up to over 90 all the time without a full time heat lamp or possibly a 2nd heating pad under the tank.

I'll do whatever makes him happy, but this is all new to me.
I actually have my heat pads attached to a thermostat, in which I can regulate the temps. Using an undertank heat pad without a thermostat attached to it is asking for trouble, as they can malfunction and overheat quite quickly.

I would also see about bumping up your ambient room temps. I keep my room at about 77-78, 68-69 may be a bit too cool. Another thing, the pinky may be too small for a 6 month old, try bumping it up to a peach fuzzie or even a fuzzie. My 3 and 4 month old babies have taken their first peach fuzzies, so a 6 month old should have no problem with it.
