Nightrainfalls summed it up accurately as did everyone else who replied. I would just add to switch to cypress mulch and the Uth should be swapped out for a ultratherm. Those zoo med uth keeps the heat more stationary as opposed to the ultratherm that sends the heat in wavelength fashion across the floor of the enclosure. They both need to be regulated by a thermostat. Good luck!
