Uth not sticking properly

It doesn't need complete contact 100% with the glass to provide heat to said glass and up through the substrate. Worse case is you need to crank the thermostat higher to achieve the necessary belly heat.

I took the entire damn thing off until I can get a bigger one. I was so pissed it wouldn't stick that it's off. So I went back to the Che and red heat to keep the temps in the hides correct and ambient correct. And I forgot to weigh her in all this...ugh. Hopefully she eats since I probably stressed her out more than normal.

if she doesn't eat, it's not the end of the world. you're not a bad snarent! i had the same issues when i used those adhesive UTHs and i was so happy to find ones you can move and remove, so i always recommend the UltraTherms.
you'll figure out what works for you; you'll hack this.

just raise ambient temps a bit higher and she'll be alright without the belly heat for a bit.

The best UTH I have is a square piece of infrared heat mat. It is the same shape as a heating pad, but a paper thin plastic sheet, with solar looking infrared foil in the plastic. Basically a square of heat tape. Is great for a glass tank.
