Hey guys, I have a question about heating. I have been using a heat lamp+heat bulb to get the right temperature, but my darn heating pads keep dying. I leave the heat sources on 24/7. I'm pretty sure that the heating pad isn't working anymore, but with the bulb on the hot side is probably about 90-92 degrees. Is that high enough? With the bulb+heating pad it was around 95 or so. The cool side is around the mid 70's. I am planning on moving my leo in to a 40 gallon exo tera cage. I don't want to keep wasting money on heating pads when they don't last long/I don't even need them. Is it ok to just use a bulb? I am using slate tile as a substrate, and it absorbs the heat from the lamp. Will this suffice as belly heat, even though the heat is coming from above? Also, should I turn the heat off during the day and turn it on at night to help the bulbs last longer, or should I keep the bulb on and keep the temps constant? Thanks!
