I love the responses given by posters here on Ol' BP.net.

This has to be the most friendliest forums on the internet.

In my opinion a UTH is a much better alternative then bulb heating. If you do decide on UTH heating, pleae spend a few more dollors and get a riostat, or thermostat.

As far as this bulb not heating to the same temp goes. Be sure and test the heat all around where the bulb is heating. Some bulbs project the heat beams in different ways. Some bulbs have a tighter more controlled heat beam, others have a wider less controlled beam.

Example o O

Not the best example, but best I could do with my keys on this key board.

I would also advise picking yourself up a nice none contact thermometer. It makes testing area temps all over the cage much easyer and very fast.

Just my 2 cents.
