" I have trouble making the recommendation on these forums about using 10 gallons for adult hognoses. There's simply no way to provide a 90° to 95° hotspot and a 75° cool spot only 6 inches away. Therefore, I recommend only the use of 20 gallon tanks because of the necessary need to provide a thermogradient."
I don't see the reason for using 10 gallons period. A 20 gallon doesn't cost that much more, and doesn't take up that much more.
