Question

so pretty much the one setting UTH I bought it s a waste fo cash then? It was nto that abd so no biggy if it was. I can go get a better one depending on cash amount. If I can't do it right off bat what you guys think I should do with a one setting UTH pad on one end of a 20 gallon glass tank and a heat lamp till I get paid on the 24th? I really want my snake to be comfortable.

Hi,


I'm not sure whats available in your local pet stores but if you are comfortable ordering over the internet then you can definately get reptile heat pads or flexwatt for a very good price indeed - connect that to your thermostat and you should be set once you get it on-temp.

You should find it's a lot easier to get the gradient using uth's than heat bulbs but the specifics depend on the ambients in your room and how much they vary over the course of the year - no sense setting it up for only 3 months of the year when its only a little more work to do it for all seasons.:)

Check out reptilebasics to get an idea of prices - you might find your $75 is enough for an on/off thermostat and flexwatt all prewired. ( I'm not sure of that so don't shoot me if its over :P ).
