ZooMed's guide says not to place a CHE or heat bulb directly over the heat pad as it can lead to excess build up of heat... Should I scratch the idea of having a regular house bulb over it? Obviously I will have a temp gun to double check before I get the animal. Is there another issue besides heat I should be aware of?

I'd say it depends on how things are setup and if both are on a thermostat. Keep in mind many typical setups don't have thermostats or thermal barriers (like the mat being in a hide). Shining a light or Che at a mat with just carpet in the way sounds like bad news.

Thanks yet again.

What I'm wondering is this:
Should the UTH fit exactly to the edges of the cage? Or is a few inches too thin ok?

I've been talking with a breeder and know what I am going to do for enclosures when juvenile and adult. However, I do need help with a thermostat. I really don't want to blow $100 bucks on a vicarious electronics model. Does anyone know a a cheap(ish) thermostat that fails OFF?

I like everything about the hydro farm model besides that it fails on.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
