Before I knew that I needed a thermostat & thermometer, my BP was on an unregulated UTH. When I got the thermometer & placed it on top of the UTH, it read 120 degrees!! Monty stayed in his hide for around a week at those temps. He didn't show any pink belly or anything remotely looking like a burn. At the time, I was mortified & so angry that the pet store just tells you to throw em in a tank pretty much. Now it makes me wonder if the thermometer is accurate, can BPs actually adapt to higher temps? Anyways, moral of the story, the thermostat is a must. And I would say two different tools to measure the temps. One may be off, with 2, you can be fairly certain.
