Is there any risk of cracking glass if using a heat pad under/aside a water area ?

[@benshaw3891]

Hi, please tell me how do you use the heat cable you mentioned 🙏 I’d really appreciate it. I’ve watched this video 10 times but I’m scared I’ll crack the tank. 😬 I’m trying to warm the Exo terra substratum slightly, so the plants don’t get cold in winter. I’ll put a proper heat mat on the side if I decide to keep animals. Tank dimensions are 12x12x18” tall. Substrate level would be 2-5 inches. Thanks so much 😊 I hope you can help x

What type of lighting can I use for the plants on the dart frog vivarium

[@MichaelMakesEverything]

If I’m doing a large terrarium 48x36x18 should I place a couple pads on the back of the tank? Or just do one and let one half be cooler. I’m planning a water feature so I’ll probably heat the water would that be enough? My house can dip between 65° and 69° in the winter when I don’t have the heat cranked while I’m home.

[@Garebear-kd8gy]

What type brand of heat pad would you suggest and would could I find it?

[@Guikrazy]

Where do you place the heat pad?

[@bennett30]

Under the tank I'm guessing

[@Guikrazy]

Where do you place the heat pad?

[@scotmeaney5013]

On one side of the tank on the outside to create a heat gradient for the frog

[@JoshsFrogs]

On the outside of one side of your tank!
