I prefer using a heatmat only (covering a third to a half of the floor area) and fitted with a thermostat set at between 88*f-90*f (31*c-32*c)

As above. You need to provide a thermal gradient in the viv, so the hot end temperature (directly above the heat mat) should be 31C - 32C, while the cold end temperature should be about 24C.
