I have him on a couple layer of newspaper, and have been taking the temp from the glass, with no substrate. Any good, reliable thermostats you would recommend? I have the water bowl on top of the hot spot of the UTH, so his hide that he's always in is now over a portion that is temping at 85 degrees. Surrounding areas very from 80-90 degrees. So him having contact with a 90 degree surface is okay? I have three bearded dragons and a water dragon, so I'm pretty much used to OVER head heat, not belly heat!

It sounds like, until I get a thermostat, the set up I have currently will work for a day or two until I can get a thermostat. If I'm misunderstanding, please let me know!

Thanks again!
