I want to get a leopard gecko. Was wondering what heat source is the best. I want to get an undertank but care sheets say heat lamp is good. Please tell me what is best.

whoever made those caresheets don't know anything. UTH is better, though a nocturnal type bulb is fine as well.

your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it, and you'll ask yourself, "where is my mind"
UTH with a thermostat or reostat is the way to go for the belly heat required for digestion but some people do do well with lamps.
I use both UTH and heat strips. UTH on glass tanks and the heat strps for the Rubbermaid containers.
