Hey Forum

I was planning on getting a leopard gecko in January at the Reptile Show. I already have a terrarium, two hides, and a water bowl. I plan on using paper towels as substrate. My question is this: can I use those human thermal pads to heat the terrarium, or should I stick to an UTH (no pun intended)?

If I should stick to UTHs, how big should I get it? (the terrarium is the same width and length as a 10g, but half the height)
