Technically speaking you really didnt need to buy a UTH in my opinion its not worth the 200+ after you buy a thermostat too... Honestly think about it, there aren't any UTH's in the wild a heat lamp acts like the sun and warms the substrate its more natural in my opinion.Originally Posted by vintageflow
Ok I have another question! I got all the stuff and am putting it together right now. Does the water dish have to be on the extreme cold side? Because even though I've got a 20 gallon long it seems like the warm hide and cool hide are close together. Alternatively, I could switch the cool hide and the water dish to give my lil guy a bigger choice in temperatures! I've attached a picture of the current setup, with the water bowl on the extreme cold side.
I've got cold to the left, hot to the right.
And I took you guys' advice and got a UTH. I have a black light on top in case I need to adjust the heat gradient but have it off while I'm testing the baseline with just the UTH on
EDIT: The water dish is kind of hidden in the plant vine thingy, but its in there on the left!
