Answer 1

if there is a locally owned pet store in your area (not petsmart or petco but a "mom and pop" type thing) ask the people at the pet store they can be great help. and it'st NOT unter tank heaters you need to be wary of its things like heat rocks and things that go inside the tank...thats where the problems are.

Answer 2

Ignore the guy above as long as u use a thermostat such as habistat they are perfectly safe(even without a stat you have to be a total moron to "fry" your pet) also heat pads are outside of your viv not just under the substrate. also leopard geckos absorb heat through there stomachs (in the wild being nocturnal they dont bask they absorb heat through rocks that had been warm up during the day)

Answer 3

Stay away from undertank heaters,they are very unreliable.Ive seen lizards fried by them.Im not trying to scare you.Use a spot bulb and a flourescent UV tube on the lid.
