Swamps in ecoearth. With a uth on the back of the tank.

Is that a 5 gallon? You could buy a lamp that has a dimmer switch and a 50 watt basking spot lamp bulb and just direct the lamp towards his enclosure because I see you have a light hood over the top.

Its a ten gallon. The light hood only allows me to use 15 watt bulbs which doesn't do much. So I'm switching to this one(picture below) once my red ear slider gets his new one next week. I'm planning on putting in a 40 watt bulb currently. Do you think that would work? If not I'll look into getting a dimmer switch.

Without a dimmer the bulb will be on full blast and dry out the enclosure. You could actually place a second UTH on the side of the tank to help with temps without drying as much.

Okay I'll do that. I have one already on the way that I was going to use to warm my dubia enclosure for the winter lol. Thanks Grif.
