You're absolutely right, Beverly. I guess I reinvented the wheel. Except
that I have heard that regular undertank heating pads can only raise the
temperature 10 degrees above room temperature. I know what you mean,
though. It was only $6.00 though, and it will last a long, long time. Roxy
might be around for another 29 years! For all you mathematicians out there,
I'll be 71. I wonder how many crickets and mealworms I will have fed her?
Actually, I have cover at the cold end of the tank and have ended up moving
the one in the middle until Roxy took up residence in it.
