    Heating question

    I'm in the process of getting my setup complete so I can purchase a ball but I heard something today that made wonder. I've done a lot of reading over the last few weeks and everything I've come across says to have both heat sources (uth and basking lamp/che) on one end of the cage. However, this really old lady that works at this pet store down the road from me, says to make sure to put a heat source on each end. So, my question is what's the correct way? Having both heat sources at one end sounds right to me but she made me question what'd I'd read. Anyway, any input at all will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS: Will post pics once I get everything setup with the ball.

    92-94 on the hot end, 82-84 on the cool..whatever gets you to that works. If your room is very cold you might need UTH and a tstat on each end...If its warm enough, maybe only one. Hope this helps!
