Re: Getting a Hognose (eventually)
Radiant heat emitters (bulbs, ceramic bulbs, radiant heat panels etc) ate better in some situations. I wouldn't use one for a heavy bodied snake or a very long snake but a uth can be very effective for smaller species.
Uth's are also essentially useless for most lizards where a specific basking spot is required or for an arboreal species where they will rarely be anywhere near the uth.
It's wrong to condemn either solution as it depends on the species being kept (I've been guilty of condemning uth's is the past but was not fully up on how to properly use them).
In any event, whatever the heat source a thermostat must be used. If you're using a bulb, ceramic heat emitter or radiant panel then a guard must be used. End of, no debate...
