I'm so mad at myself. I got a 40 watt bulb to try and heat up my warm side. Thinking it was a low wattage, I put a towel on top of the lid and left for work.

Got home, checked the temps. 103 on the warm side, 90 on the cool side!!! I feel like such an idiot.

I'm going to bite the bullet, I made some money today and I'm going out tomorrow and buying a thermostat, that rheostat is not cutting it for his heat pad.

I want to buy a Zoo-Med Repti-temp 500R. Can anyone tell me exactlly how it works?
