    Default To Heat Lamp, or not to Heat Lamp?

    Hi- I live in Michigan, and as most of you know (being it a northern state) we have some pretty severe winter chills. When I purchased Leo (my white's treefrog) at the store, the lady told me not to use a heat lamp because it would dry out his skin. Instead, she handed me a heating pad to put beneath his tank. Now, I've got that all set up and plugged in. However, I'm starting to fear that one little heat pad isn't going to be enough for him. It gets to freezing in Michigan and I don't want Leo to get cold. (We generally keep our house temp at about 70 degrees, but that doesn't stop the winter chill from occasionally seeping in.) I've heard a few members speaking of heat lamps, and I was wondering if I should invest in one for Leo, so that he can be more comfortable throughout the winter months. Any other tips or comments are also welcome.
