This other gecko forum I go to Saids that leopard gecko doesn't need the UVB light. What do you think

I think that the price of the meter turned you off.:biggrin:

It's much safer than dusting with d3 (which can be overdosed), when used carefully.

April 20th is almost here :). Will you be getting the Exo Terra 36 x 18 x 12 high tank? That will be exceptional for your leo! A Reptisun UVB 5.0 should work fine. Will you be getting the 18 inch long Reptisun?

Don't know exactly the size for your UTH in that tank. Just go by 1/3 the length and as close to the width as possible.

"1/3 the length and nearly the width" does not equal 11 x 11 inches. You say the Exo Terra tank is 36 x 18 x 12 inches high. So you will need a UTH measuring 12 inches wide x 18 inches long. Maybe a combo of two of UTHs. Size up a bit rather than down. Your thermostat will moderate the diffence.

How about figuring out how to use Flexwatt Heat Tape for this area?

Check post #44 following the leo caresheet for an introduction to Flexwatt Heat Tape by the Beanfarm Herp Supplies. Hopefully someone can guide you on that project.
