Sorry everyone! I did mean UTH!!
And.. it was plugged into thermostat when it shorted out.. which is why I was worried. Im now scared to death that Im going to burn my BF's house down with a reptile heater!
Half of the tank is covered by a black towel at all times, except for when he is out, should that do? Im sure I can just take out one of the water bowls since he technically doesnt need it to put two bigger hides in. I dont necessarily think I need something bigger than a 20L just yet..
