Under Tank Heater Issues. Help Is Appreciated!!!

[Lija]

Agree with Cory, I would also worry about potential fire too. that's a reason these heat pads can't be reused. Once upon a time I as thinking its a bs and everybody who says that are just paranoid.... Until it almost killed ones of my snakes and only pure luck prevented having a fire and losing everything. So nope you don't want risk it.

Infrared lamps are coming in min. 50w, it's more then enough to heat up the mini tall tank, actually you better have a dimmer or controller to prevent overheating

Went back to my room an hour later the piece of **** thing and fallen off and I expected it to be hot on the floor. Nope, cold as ice. Taking it back and getting my money back. If they don't have any 50 watt lamps I am sure my Jabba will be okay in 70 ish temperatures. He is actually buried under his substrate which is pretty moist and I would assume cold to him.

They burrow to cool down. We keep our pacs at about 75-78. No side heat. Actually, i mean we hung a single 10inch dome with dimmer and a 60w. Its hardly ever on, but does the trick on a cold night.


Sounds like you got sold someones returned item...
