    Temperature needs to be taken under the substrate when you are using any UTH options. There also is no need for that deep of a substrate, 1/2 inch is more than enough.
    If I am remembering right, the 114qt is the same dimensions of a 41qt but way taller? The height is not needed and may hurt husbandry as far as heating and humidity. For a one that small, a 6qt is enough and net step to a 28qt.
    You didn't read my post did you I said that
    To be fair I said it in a less straightforward way but I said measure floor temps because someone else said measure on the aspen
