My question is: Could I switch the old heat pad for the biggest one without any problem? Of course I have a thermosthat, I wanted to know if I can improve a better heating.
Sometimes the ZooMed's suggestions arn't always correct. Just make sure that the heat pad isn't bigger than 1/4-1/3 of the space underneath the tank. If it is, then it's probably too big.
