I have two 10 gallon tanks that were the tropical kit set ups with the UTH.
My petco one is doing fine, no issues (Besides being half on half off but the gecko loves it and i don't really need a thermostat). My petsmart one, I noticed today, the UTH was completely off the tank and won't stick. I put a flat thin rock under it to keep it from falling but it's doing an awful sticking job. Looks like I'm gonna either need to replace it or duct tape it. I kept my UTHs on 24 hours. Is that bad? I've decided to plug them into Bandit's power strip thing (It's late and I'm too tired to think and idk what it's called
) that can have 6 things plugged into it at once and that itself is plugged onto her timer that goes 8:30-8:30. Now my question is can the geckos be on timers or should they have heat 24/7? In the wild, they'd have cooler temps too right? and that's when they're supposed to be more active? Anyways, idk if I'm just trying to justify giving the UTH a little 12 hour break, plus my electric bill should enjoy a small break too. My house doesn't drop below 70,(Bandit's tank stays around 72 at night and my infrared laser says the air is 73) would that be too low for them?
Thanks in advance!
