For a 10 gallon aquarium with one leopard gecko in it will I need anything more than a undertank heater(Zoomed) to keep the temperature o.k. for the leo? We don't have any air conditioning in my house so in the summer it reaches 85 degrees (Thats when i pull the fans out) and in the winter it goes as low as 65. Should i have any other heat source when it gets that cold?
Thanks

Yes, a UTH alone can stand the job. If you're going to get Zoomed's I recommend using the mini 5 gallon size UTH for a 10 gallon tank. The 10-20 gallon size is way too large for a 10 gallon tank. You'll also need to purchase a heat control device such a rheostat (dimmer) or thermostat.
