    I prefer the Ultratherm uths. Even unregulated (which I would never do) they say they won't get hot enough to harm your animals.

    I like Kane heat mats but the smallest size is 18x18 which is to big for a 40. My second option would be intellitemp from big apple pet supply, they come in 4 sizes and don't have the adhesive on them like zoomed and others. They cost right around the same also.

    That's the flexwatt correct? I wouldn't mind getting some but I have no idea how much heat it can put out as my room is quite cool (60°F).

    No THG is its own brand. Flex is its own brand.
    UTH is only for a warm spot NOT ambient heating.
    With a room that cool there is no UTH source that will do on its own.
    Your better bet would be a radiant heat panel.

    I'm well aware that it's not for ambient. I have a lamp to deal with ambient temps.THG is the stuff from reptile basics correct?

    Yes THG is from reptile basics. I read somewhere that it gets hotter than flexwatt. Whichever option you choose make sure your using a thermostat.
