How to Setup a Glass Tank (20 long) With Pictures!

[lurch9]

Nope no moisture actually was feeling inside and checked my thermometer to make sure it was not broken lol but yeah like I said she just ate little bit ago and has been active at night and using her hide during day so don't think she's unhappy

Do you peel white paper off uth and tape the sticky with foil tape? Then tape Uth to tank?

I peeled sticky off uth and just stuck it to tank didn't need any tape it's holding strong but if it doesn't hold I'm assuming you would need the tape

I have a question the uth I have on the side of my tank is that fine or should I move it I also don't have a thermostat with it which on plan on getting but will I be able to use it with my uth the brand I have is all living things when he go to the hot side he lay under the tree near the heat pad should o move it under the tank or its fine there just add a thermostat to it !! I also moved the heat lamp to the middle of the 20 gallon tank

I know i'm a little late to the party to ask this but would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to order the thermostat he uses? even just a brand or site listing. The local stores are severely lacking in adequate pet care products and I haven't found anything like he shows that allows the UTH to plug into the thermostat so that it auto regulates.

Thanks in advance.

He gave three options in section #4. This is what it said. The Reptile Basics link didn't work so I updated it for you.

Im a Herpstat guy myself so I say go with SpyderRobotics. He prefers Herpstat too. You can see his Herpstat4 in one of the pics. I have one and they are awesome.

Many thanks. That was the top priority. Checking out the links now

So the herpstat will definitely be for when I build his permanent home. I'm going to have to go with a midrange one for this temporary glass enclosure...I might also require an associates in engineering before buying the herpstat one. Saved the links, going hunting for this stuff tomorrow. Thanks again

The Herpstats are not hard to operate. I have two Herpstat 1s, a 2, and a 4. All work great and are straight forward to use.

Check around on Fauna and the other sites for used tstats. They pop up as people get out of the hobby or upgrade to bigger better units. You can really get a good deal on a slightly used model.

That's good to know. I'll keep checking in. Thank you for that.
