An under the tank heater made to stick under the tank. Leos need belly heat to digest. Over head heat is not recommended. Use a digital thermometer stuck to the bottom of the tank to monitor temperatures. It should be 88-91F. You can use a light dimmer (sold at hardware stores) to plug the UTH in to adjust the temps as needed.

First off, avoid any heat rocks. These can cause serious injury to your little guy...I would use a heat lamp during the day (making sure you get the right wattage and monitor the temperature to keep it just right on the hot side of the tank, and then a under-tank heating pad (assuming you use a glass tank) at night.

A heating pad to put at the bottom of the tank (if it's a glass tank), and a heating lamp about 6 inches away.

i do no longer think of you desire the infered bulb in case you're using an undertank heater. I want the fewer than tank heater considering those are animals that that don't do relatively some sunlight hours basking, yet take in warmth by way of their bellies. I even have been using an undertank heater on one edge of a 20 gallon tank 24/7, and a 50 watt bulb for sunlight hours and my lady seems to be thriving. I even have had no subject with harm from the UTH, placed if it is going to be precise on the wardrobe, use the little plastic "ft" lined in the equipment.
