    What Type/Brand of heat pad do you have?
    Just wondering what type of heat pad everyone is using. I have seen around 5 or more different types on the internet and I'm not real happy with ours.
    Ours is the kind that is paper thin and sticky on the one side. It doesn't seem to have consistant heat throughout. It warm in the middle and cold around the edges. I saw some other ones that are thicker and you don't stick them to anything, they can just lay in or under the tank.

    I use the Ultratherm heat pad from Reptile Basics. I really like it.

    I also use flexwatt but just so you know, all heat pads do that to an extent. The heat around the edges can disperse easier while the heat in the middle doesn't have anywhere to go. Some may vary more than others, but its never going to be consistent all the way across.

    I was wondering if any of you guys use the foil heat pads you can get at pet stores? They're quite popular over here and I was wondering what you guys think of them?

    Sorry if I'm hi jacking, I thought it was relevant.
