Hey ac family, I just found. My old heating mat and temperature gauge. Ive set my test tubed queens just on the edge of the mat, so should I put a blanket over them or what. Thx

I don't see a reason to put a blanket over them. Just make sure they are in a dark place and the mat isn't too hot.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
