Easy Heat Lamp Question

[jclaiborne]

The layer of substrate is about an inch. I'm using a Zoo Med heat pad. Is there any way to hook that kind of heat pad up to a thermostat? No, I don't have any pictures of my setup at the moment.

Yes you just tape the thermostat probe directly to the heat pad, plug the heat pad into the thermostat dial it in and you are set. It is really that easy. You can use aluminum tape to hold the prob on. I myself use Kapton tape though.
