    The ultratherms on reptilebasics list their dimensions, so you can just measure whatever size you need that fits about 1/3~1/2 of the tub.
    i just moved so i have a ton of packing tape leftover LOL im trying to figure out temps and lighting and humidity cause i dont think its light enough in my room honestly and the humidity is high which is weird cause i have low humidity in my room
