Hey all,

I've got a young ATB and I'm going to be getting him a new enclosure.

I'm going to be upgrading to a Zoo-Med Naturalistic terrarium. dimensions:18"x18"x18".

my question is, what is the best way to heat this terrarium?
The ambient temp in my apartment is 73F. I'm thinking about using a UTH as part of the heat source and a daylight bulb in a dome reflector for the other heat source. If I do this, should I mount the UTH on the bottom or on the side of the terrarium? Also, what size UTH should I get in order to obtain the proper temp in the cage?

I'm looking for a temp range of 80-84 during the day and 78ish at night.

Any info would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Erik R. (EchoRomeo)
