    I also ordered the one that was linked for the heating pad. Now lets talk about settings? So much conflicting information here as well. What settings to use for all 3?
    this is where you need to play scientist and run some tests on your own. everyone's environment and location is different so there is no one set way to achieve the proper temperatures. you need to create a 90° F hot spot, a 75-80° F cold side, and ~60% humidity, and how you achieve that with your equipment is up to you and your knowledge.

    the thermostat probe for the UTH is placed between the UTH and the bottom of the enclosure OUTSIDE of the enclosure. this is very important, as you measure the temperature of the hot spot inside the enclosure BELOW any substrate. you'll likely have to set the thermostat for the UTH a couple degrees higher than the ideal hot spot (90° F). for the heat lamp, you're going to have to dangle the probe just above the substrate and adjust the settings for the lamp to the temperature readings in the enclosure.

    does this make sense?
