I've been reading various things about heating and there seems to be a conflict in people's opinions on heating. Some say to use an under tank heater along with the basking bulb. Others say to just use the basking bulb during the day and a red heat bulb at night with no UTH. What do people on this forum do?

Thanks,
Randi

Get a nice hot flood light pointed at a large flat rock and make it a nice 110-120 degrees under the light and that is good. Tom
