"yes you can use a che a the only heat source if your can provide the proper temperature gradient... "

That was all you had to say.

I have gauges all through her tank to make sure everything is correct. Before the glass cracked it probably did get higher than 90, but I was not right there watching. Are you right in front of your enclosures watching the gauges all the time? I check her tank morning and night, and as I said before, it has always been pretty constant. Like I said, I had just cleaned her tank. I think I may have torn a wire or twisted something by accident when I was putting her tank back where it belongs, so that may very well have caused the issue. I am sure you did not say it to belittle me, and I appreciate you were trying to help, but you came across as very condescending and insulting. My animals are all very well loved and cared for and I would never put them in harms way on purpose. But if I broke her UTH that easily, I really want something a bit more durable or that I can put in a safe place easier while I am cleaning the tank. So I will probably go with a CHE for that reason.
