heat mat/tank set up

[reesanne]

hi all, quick question about heat mats, so i have a leopard gecko and in the picture i have below i circled the 2 lights that are not being used anymore, and the other one is a ceramic heat emitter. Im not sure which side to put the heat mat on, what size i should get, or which hide to put it under because i know they need a warm hide, cool hide, and moist hide.

Any advice?

I would recommend putting it under the log hide you have in the bottom left corner , the size varies depending on the tank size and hide size , hope this helps!

If you have a heat mat, I don't think you need a ceramic heat emitter and heat lights as well. If you only want to get rid of one of those, ditch the CHE.

so you would recommend getting rid of all the lights including the CHE and just do a heat mat?

That's what I'd do, but other people see it differently. As I said, there's definitely no need for the CHE.
