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
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.
