Changing hides?

just noticed the amazon link...that should work. I just fed him last night so I'll order one and it should be here by the time he's ready to come out again. Thanks

I agree about getting a thermostat. The heat can get well over 100 degrees and the carpet in between can actually make it even hotter because its trapping heat and it can melt the heater and be a potential fire hazard.

I'll have to look and see if I can find a thermostat with a lead long enough...but when I tested the carpet with a temp probe it read 92.5-92.7.....which is his hot spot.

Put the thermometer (temp) probe UNDER the carpet to see what it's really building up to. What do you mean a thermostat with a long enough lead? That probe goes under the tank between the UTH and glass, and the UTH plugs into it, then the stat plugs into the wall. If your wall is close enough to plug in the UTH, then there shouldn't be any issue plugging in the stat.
