Hi, This is not for my Sons BD its for my Daughter who wants to get a Leopard Gecko. Which is the better way to go for night heat? The Matt makes me a bit nervous. But if you guys like it ill try it. Can you guys link me to good choices and thermostats as well. The tank is a 40 G Breeder size. Thanks
Under tank heat pads vs Ceramic Bulb? I am new to both

I'm not sure about the requirements for leos in particular, but I like the heat projector bulbs that Arcadia makes. They work like a ceramic heat emitter but get much less hot to the touch. I prefer them over heat mats, but it kind of depends on the application I suppose. A fairly simple on/off or pulse thermostat would work for a heat projector. You don't need to get into the more expensive dimming thermostats unless you're controlling a basking bulb.
I use these MegaRay bulbs for nighttime heat in my dragon's enclosure and to heat my roach enclosure http://www.reptileuv.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=75&products_id=196
Arcadia makes one that is very similar http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/arcadia-deep-heat-projector-50w-sale/
Either of them should work nicely and last for several years.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
