Hey all,

I have a young albino pacman (about 1.5 inch). This question may be a stupid one but I don't want to do anything wrong...

I know that the heat mat needs to go on the side and not the botton as frogs burrow to cool down. But does it make a difference which side you put it on? Would it make any difference if the heatmat was put on the back (long side of tank)?

I was wondering because where I live gets quite cold over winter and the small heatmat I have on the side does not heat the tank very well (gets to about 79F at the very hottest). I have looked online for a small mat that is of higher wattage, but no luck. So I would need a bigger one, but this will not fit on the small side of the tank.

Please advise, thanks in advance
