    Okay so I bought the Hydrofarm Jump Start Heat Mat Thermostat. I noticed tonight it fluctuates up and down about 6 degrees. Should I set it at 90?

    Would my UTH be better like this?

    I turned my tank over today and looked at the uth I have there. It covers almost a third of my tank all the way over to the left side of my tank under my warm hide. I looked up the sizes and it must be a small 6 by eight. Wish I had bought a little bigger one. Well I decided to turn it to be...

    UTH for ten gallon?

    Has anyone ever thought of adding a live chat to this site.

    I don't know what it would take to do it, but sometimes I log on and see others are here too. It would be nice to be able to chat with everyone. Perhaps it wouldn't work. I used to have Betta's and the group I belonged to had a chat and it was nice sometimes! :lol:

    Vastra sleeps draped over temp probe.

    Do you think it will hurt Vastra to sleep draped over the temp probe in her warm hide. There is plenty of room in there for her to sleep lots of places other than with her neck right over the probe but she seems to prefer it. She uses it kinda like a pillow. It is not flush to the mat. It sits...

    How do you determine age in a rescue?

    I have a healthy female Leo, Vastra that we rescued from a fellow who didn't want her anymore. She was living with another girl Leo and she was the dominant gecko. She would get all the food and bully the other girl. This fellow wanted a snake so he got rid of his Leo's. We were happy to get...

    Vastra likes to read the forum too!

    I was holding Vastra after I fed her tonight and she crawled out of my hands onto the keyboard and before I knew it she had found a toasty spot and settled down and it appeared she was checking out what was going happening on Gecko's unlimited. Maybe she just liked the heat coming from the fan...

    81 degrees in my warm hide.

    I have taken my UTH off the side of my tank and put it under the tank below my warm hide. I placed a digital thermometer in my warm hide and it only registers 81 degrees. If I turn on the over head tiny red zilla light it will go to about 91 but is hotter higher up in the vivarium. Vastra was...

    Is my gecko vision impaired?

    I am a new Leopard gecko owner. We were given a 6 inch approx 6 month old gecko. I made it a nice home. My tank sits on the table so I couldn't put the warming pad underneath so I put it on the side. She spends a lot of time curled up close to the heat pad. Sometimes on the top of the rock hide...
