I understand all that but the main concern to me is that he has never acted like this I just added aspen bedding an he is up there and wont get off I figure he doesnt like the bedding or something because he has never wrapped up there at all. I know those lights are bad because I got F***** over at the darn pet store that sold it to me with NO REFUNDS writen in the back of the receipt and dont worry I will hit that guy so hard in the face that his mother is gonna feel it. But till then I really dont know what to do. I might take out this bedding and put back his old one till I figure out a different option. I have my ranco coming in sometime today. But I dont know how I will instand an UTH in a wooden tank thats about one inch thick I dont know how the UTH will heat trough the tank and the aspen bedding I will post up a pic of the size and shape of the tank and you guys tell me where to put the uth.
