Thank you for you help. Now on the subject of the carpeting - I have heard and read it is a bad idea to use, but if you are using a UTH, how do you keep your snake protected from being burned by the UTH? I haven't received or installed mine yet, but it sounds as if you mount it directly to the bottom of the tank. I use a dirt-like reptile substrate, but I would think the risk would be even greater using newpaper as substrate. Just curious...

Are there any tips or tricks to mounting this, or should I just follow the directions that it comes with?
