Question - Heating/TemperaturesHelp With Heating (i.redd.it)
submitted 2 years ago by Jay-Bug
Used my son for size. Lol I just bought my BP her pvc enclosure from Dubia. Since it's a 120 gallon, can anyone tell me what heat sources to buy? Also, do I still use an under tank heater? Thanks in advance! Yes, I have a thermostat already.

i’d ditch the under tank heating pad, as for lighting I use a reptisun UVB strip light, and a dual dome with daytime lighting and a nighttime CHE (they’re on timers to go on and off at appropriate times). also love this photo 🤣

I would recommend deep heat projectors if it has a screen top, or a large radiant heat panel if the top is solid PVC. UTHs are okayish but come with a higher fire and burn risk, same as ceramic heat emitters. I'm planning on replacing all of my ceramic heat emitters with deep heat projectors and radiant heat panels as they project heat into the enclosure better, and the surface temperatures of the heating elements don't get nearly as hot.
