The BP does have heat right now, I am using a light but I rather switc to UTH. Money is a little tight right now so I would have to go with the other route at first, how long do they last for? What temp do I out it at?

What size tank will I have to upgrade to? I always heard it needs a bigger one.

He has one hide right now, a very big one that I might cut since its pretty big and tanks up most of the tank. He has a water dish and aspen for substrate.

Would you guys recommend flex tape or a UTH from the petstore to get?
