you could put a towel over some of the vents but i find that rubs work better at keeping the heat.

its quite easy just get a rub then transfer everything out the faun into the rub sit the rub on the heatmat and put thermostat probe in the rub place lid on the rub and your set.
It will hold the heat a lot better.

Can't you turn the stat up?

They aren't quite accurate if you go with the temp on the dial, so i'd advise turning it up to about 33-34C and monitoring the 'real' temperature with a digital thermometer in the tank.
