UPDATED. Is this a proper tank setup? Albino bp

Having a UTH that is not hooked up to a thermostat means the UTH is not under control. You need to unplug it until you get a tstat.

The uth and heat lamp are actually the heat sources that you should be controlling. You'll need a thermostat for the UTH (hydrofarm is about $30, and Herpstat is about $100-200 depending on which model you get). A dimmer would be acceptable for the lamp.

You can also use a lamp stand to control the heat lamp. Raising it lowers the temp and lowering it raises it.

I like these.

They have them at the big box pet store and many reptile shops as well.


As for a tstat I vote Herpstat all the way!!!
