Temp confusion!

However you can get the heat up to the right levels is fine. The only two things you can't do is to put a UTH under the tank, only on the side, and for albinos you should never use a white light, only red lights under 40 watts.

I just recently got a space heater for my reptile room, and that really helps keep the temps up in there. It's a good investment if you have several reptiles.

ok, sounds like I am on the right track then. Why can`t you put the heater under the tank though??

They like to burrow and they can burn themselves by sitting directly on the heater.

never thought of that, but you have a point. He has had a small one under his 20gal tank since I got him and I never thought of it...guess I might want to move it! thanks
