Ya you should return the 15 watt and get a 40 and that's all you should need. If you get a thermostat get one that has a daytime/nighttime setting and it will do the night time drop for you. Or you can get the dimmer and just manually adjust it yourself. You can get a red bulb and if you need something for daylight if the room he is in is dark you can just use a normal low watt led house bulb for light and just turn it off at night, they cant see the red so that can be left on 24/7. They are a little more drying but they need the heat. Or get a daylight heat bulb like one of those daytime blue bulbs and use the uth on the side for nighttme, 75f isn't bad for night he just cnt be kept like that all the time. And even with 2 uth's on the side a lot of the time you have to build 3 walls around the outside of the tank so the matts are in between the tank and wall to pretty much insulate the tank. Almost like putting the uth's on then putting it on self that just barely fits the tank, its more then a pain in the butt then anything. I used to do it this way and now I just have my frog/reptile room stay at 82f all the time until night then the whole room drops down to 77f, the only animal that gets extra heat is the dragon. you have a few options and its really what works best for you. I'm editing because I just thought of something, if its an albino remember the lights above him cant be too bright.

Okay awesome thanks so much, just got a 40W blue daytime bulb and a lamp dome with a built in dimmer, so I’ll set that up and just turn it off at night.

What does a 3.3 gallon acrylic enclosure look like? I don't think I would use a UTH with an acrylic enclosure. My PacMan is in a 10-Gallon Glass enclosure. I have a Flukers 5.5" lamp above the enclosure with a Daytime blue 40w heat bulb that I can adjust with the dimmer on the lamp. It does a good job of maintaining the proper temperatures. I have a Thermometer/Hygrometer in the tank so I can monitor the temps and humidity levels. My PacMan frog is 6-8 months old - I only feed him Crickets. I don't think he is ready for worms at this age. Some may disagree. He is eating fine, every other day. I'm glad you got him a Terrarium - what size did you get him? The 40w blue bulb will work great.
