Yeah i know it looks really odd.... It's only a temporary thing until my herpstat t-stat and flexwatt come in the mail! main reason is i dont want to turn up my lower-quality zoo-med uth very high for fear of endangering monty, so i leave it lower, and just raise the ambient temps of the tub with the lamps for now. better to be slightly imperfect than the chance of burning him, correct?

and yeah...both the uth and both lamps are connected to rheostats.
