I used to have heat lamps that came with the tank and both of them broke. So I went to Petco and got a heating pad. It's attached to the side and I'm using a radar gun to tell the temperature. It's 71 on the cold side, and 75 on the hot side. I'm really upset that I spend money on this and it's not hot enough. I have a dresser that the tank sits on, so the instructions say I should put on the side which I did but since it's not getting the side hot enough.. Could I put it underneath? It's a zoo med heating pad.
i just don't know what to do.. I don't want to buy another heat lamp because if it's just going to keep breaking over a short period of time what's the point? I don't have money to buy more heating supplies.
