Few small simple questions.

Okay. Then I'll do that. I'll switch her timer over so it stays on 24/7 until I get the dimmer. And yeah, thats the one I was looking at online, and will put in my purchase for it the day I get the money. Is there a certain type of thermostat that anyone suggests? And would it be attached to the lamp, or the uth with dimmer? Sorry, if the questions sound idiotic, I'm new at all of this.

Here what i do seeing as im in a similar situation seeing as it gets cold in my room at night

I have A thermostat (zilla temp control) the repti-temp works good to. Anyways i have my flexwatt(a uth from petstore is fine to) hooked up to my tstat. This give me my hotspot of like 92* and since my room temp is around 80* during the day i dont need a lamp. However at night i cannot sleep in 80* it has to be cooler so i open window and temps drop down to 70*

So what i do is turn on my lamp and this is hooked to a dimmer. Dim it down low enough so it only gets the ambient temp up to 80. If i leave the lamp on full blast it gets about 95* which is to much so i just dim it down enough to get it to around 80*

im also gonna get the accu-rite thermometer everyone here is so hyped up about. sounds like a good device.

Wouldnt consider it "hype" just more of one of them MUST need devices next to your tstat
