I don't know if I need to purchase one of these. And are they the same thing? I have a 20 gal long terrarium containing a pair of 2 month old BPs. I have one normal and one Black Pastel. I have a small hide on each side and they each like their own. There is a 6x8" under tank heat mat on one side. It keeps my "cool" side at about 82. My problem is the other "hot" side. I have a 75watt red bulb suspended a couple inches above the screen top and it makes that side about 97 degrees. I believe this is too hot even though one of the snakes enjoys that side. I tried a 60watt bulb, but it only reached about 86 degrees. Is it too hot with the 75watt? And do I need to find a thermostat to reduce the temp closer to 90? Also where to get one for a decent price? I see some Japanese ones on eBay for 11$, but you can't ever be sure about those. Any advice is welcome. Thank you.
