dodgy heatmat?

hi
iv got a 20x20cm 12w heat mat and its plugged into a thermostat which is set to 30*C
its under a 35x25cm plastic container.
however the temperature cant seem to get above 24*C

do i have a dodgy heatmat?
or cant it heat because of the plastic?

one thought i had would be to put it in the container under the sand because its going to have a lesueur's velvet gecko in it and i thought it wouldnt dig down so it wouldnt be able to burn itself?

anyone else had similar experiences or ideas?

thanks,
sam
