    Can someone recommend a good brand for me to get?

    I'm looking for the...items?
    I don't know what to call them.
    All the things I need for a tank.

    A heating pad, thermometer, etc.

    Are these any good..?

    I'd also like to find a thermometer for the heating pad, so that will work, too.

    That analog stick on is junk.
    You need a thermostat to regulate an UTH

    For thermometers everyone here essentially uses AcuRite, and for good reason because it's pretty accurate! Get one with a probe - I have one with a probe that tells me the probe's temp and the temp/humidity of the actual unit. Then you could put the probe under the substrate on the hot side and the actual unit on the cold side; it's really efficient
    And I use a UTH from ReptileBasics, an Ultratherm I think? I don't know too much about other ones though, but I use this UTH for my new bp as well as my hermit crabs lol

    Edit: the UTH I'm talking about is in one of the above links ^_^

    It would help to know what kind of tank you have . Is it a glass fish tank or a plastic tub or a PVC cage or other?

    Yes, thermostat.
    That's what I meant to say when I said I needed one for the heating pad.
    I accidentally put thermometer though.
    Thanks.

    Oh.
    Wow.
    That looks pretty neat.
    Is it pretty accurate?
