Uth and heat lamp

[NYHC4LIFE8899]

I use a UTH to maintain the basic ambient temp more than a hot spot and an infra-red lower watt bulb to provide a hot spot on my guys in glass tanks with no trouble. If the bulb blows while I am at work the tank temps are kept within reason by the UTH.
But, if your home is reasonably warm and you keep spare bulbs on hand I can't see any reason why you need to change anything. And, to be honest if heating was totally taken care of other ways I would still be looking for an ultra-low watt Infra red just to watch them at night just before feeding days when they cruise the tank like they are on a rat killing mission.

I've got quiet a few extra bulbs on hand,so if one goes I can replace right on the spot,not that they may be the watt I'm using,but as a temp replacement for a few hours or a day,I'm good to go.

yes I use at night an infra red bulb already,my other tank I use the black light heat bulb,cause yeah he does like to come out and do his exploring for an hour or two. Definitely cool to watch,kind of mimics them In there natural habitat. Plus I think it's good he gets to stretch out and move around.

yeah through the cooler seasons my apt stay within73-70. I can keep it to 80 but if so imma then put the AC on lol,cause I'll be sweating..so my apt does stay very warm and comfortable. Right now I have my heat On at 73.my tank temps are great humidity steady..yeah man,I'm having no problems,so I'm not changing anything except for my tank location..they are right near the window and right next to the heater....so end of winter I have a place I may move them to but not sure cause I have no outlets there,well I do but already have 100 plugs plugged in. So I hag I figure something put,I have an idea
