Best Heating for my BP?

Hello,

I can't figure out the best way to heat my BP's tank, its small (10 gal) and the heat-pad I was recommended (small zoo med)seems to get way too hot a spot even with two mats on top of it, over 100 deg, I dont know if it can use a dimmer or not, I was told by a few people to use heat lamps instead, but don;t know which is better for night time between infrared or incandescent night bulbs. Does it matter?

I have read so many different views I am totally confused don't know which way to go.

thanks

Michele,

You should be able to use whats called a rheostat I believe. Zoo med has had these for sale at any of the stores that carries Zoo Med products. Its very much like a dimmer switch. http://www.zoomed.com/db/products/En...I7czoxOiIwIjt9 Hope this helps.
