More about my setup... i have a 40 gallon breeder tank, i am going to put a heat pad on 2/3 of the cage and set it to 80ish, and another one on 1/3 of the cage and set it to 90ish. i have two termometers, one on both sides, and i will tape the probes to the bottom on the tank dirctly on the heat tape, i have a humidity gauge that reads 26 but i am getting eco earth and forest bedding and mixing it together to raise the humidity, i also have a 75 watt basking bulb... i have to have the cold side heated because by room is on an outside wall and the temp in my room is 72, So is this good???


As for those Repti Temp 500R, is that the thermometer or thermostat? I wouldn't recommend either. A simple accurite indoor/outdoor thermometer is cheaper, and I definitely would use one of their thermostats. I prefer the more expensive HerpStat, Helix or even the Ranco.
My thermostat has two plugins on it but it will have the same temp set on both heat pads, do you know what im saying???

and with the herpstats and helixs, can you set two different temps???
