one heat source, two tanks!

I recently set up a terrarium for a my pacman frog and was having trouble regulating the temperature, so I purchased a ceramic heater which does a fantastic job. What I didn't realize is that the heater is also heating the tank located above it, belonging to my hermit crab! I'm really happy about this as I also have struggled to heat that tank properly, especially in the winter.

Here's a couple of photos of the set up. So the hermit crab tank (top) is sitting on a metal frame with its glass bottom exposed. Directly under that is the ceramic heater (in the metal cage) so the heat that goes up is warming the hermie. This was totally accidental, but great

Glad your set-up up is working OK. Is that tank for your "albino" Pacman? If so, that bright light could hurt it's skin and eyes.

No I have a regular green pacman and the light is not UVA or UVB
Maybe you're thinking of the other new member I saw post recently with an albino that was having eating issues?
