Heat lamp or heat pad?

Ok thanks for all the info. Iv been using a UTH but I don't think my frogs acting normal because I don't think the UTH is getting the enclosure to the right temp. He's currently in a tub with I'm guessing a 10 gal UTH. In the next few days I'm gonna get him a 10 gal tank and a heat lamp to see if his behavior changes any.

Ya the UTH's are a pain and will admit they are not the best way to heat a frog enclosure, without the box built around my tank they would be useless. If you go with the overhead heat from what I understand the CHE's don't dry the tank out as much as heat lamps/bulbs.

Yea I have a sprayer so his tank will never dry out. I'll give the light bulbs a chance.

If you have other herps, you can use a space heater to keep a room at the correct ambient temp. It works so well I don't even use heat pads for my frog anymore except during the coldest part of winter.
