    Heat Mat

    Hey guys! So I am most likely getting my bp next weekend! Anyways, I was wondering, which one of these UTH's is best for a 40 gallon breeder?

    Always a thermostat with a UTH.

    Read a few more threads around here.

    11X11 and no matter what the UTH says ALWAYS use a thermostat, depending on the situation those UTH are capable of reaching 120 degrees (I have some of them and tested them in various situations), a T-Stat will allow you to provide proper temps with minimum fluctuation and prevent overheating which could lead to severe burns, death and fire hazard.
