General Care Question

[LLLReptile]

I have currently a 10 gallon tank for my BP and it may be a while before I can upgrade him to a nice enclosed large tank he'll be in when he's larger, but I have a thermostat ready for when I have the UTH (currently using heat lamp). Is it a bad idea to use the UTH on a glass tank if I have a thermostat? I also have an electronic heater that measures both sides of his tank seperately.

You can use the thermostat for the light bulb, too.

UTH's can be used with a glass tank quite safely. Just use the little tabs that come with it to keep the tank slightly elevated, which allows for airflow underneath. The airflow keeps the pad from overheating, especially when used in combination with a thermostat.
