You can use both. I keep a cold home and have a uth, ceramic heat fixture, and day and night heat bulbs.

What is the temp of the room you will have him? I need to know to tell you my best suggestion.

This is my forty gallon tank with the heat sources on stands.

A uth that is 1/3 the size of the tub floor is common.
