I agree... I was having lots of probs with George so i just set up a tub that works... the levels are right its consistent and really easy for me to work with, but i hate the way it looks... Now that I have him in a working enclosure I can take all the time in the world to get my glass tank set up...

On my tub i use flexwatt instead of a UTH... I don't see why this wouldnt work on a glass tank too... Can pick up some foil tape for like $3 a roll to attach it to the tank and can take it off pretty easily when you want to clean...

Everything I have read on BPs has said belly heat belly heat belly heat... If you have the belly heat right, then your ambient temps should be ok. I don't think BPs need like a hotspot basking spot like an iguana would.
