They work just fine with totes. The UTH pads are safer than using heat lamps with plastic totes. The key is to use a thermostat. Plus with using a UTH you can simply move the water bowl close to the hot side to bump up the humidity if needed.
As for size i use a heat mate that will cover 1/4 to 1/3 of the bottom of the cage.
This is the kind and site i get mine from. Ultratherm Undertank Heater (UTH)- 11"x23" - Reptile Basics Inc |
Ok, thanks!
Now, what's a thermostat? When I think of thermostat I think of the thing on my wall that regulates my house.
