Is this plenty to heat a 30 gallon tub? I'm pretty sure, just looking for a second opinion before I complete this order.

Hello John,

Honestly, I have never even heard of a heat cable :roll: ! I can tell you though it is not neccessary...I would not waste the money! All you need is the UVB and Basking bulb. If you need extra heat for the enclosure...during the day, a smaller watt bulb for bringing temps up is recommended. At night...if temps fall below 65 degrees, then a CHE(ceramic heat emitter) is recommended.

We do not recommend any other types of heating devices such as....heat rocks, heat mats, etc....
With these such devices there is a chance your beardie may get burned.

Hope this helps!

That's what happens when you go through the unanswered posts! You forget they are in specific forums.
I guess I will pay better attention next time! :wink:
