hello, i'm new to the hobby and lookin forward to getting my first t i'm after a bit of advice about the set up, i'm thinkin of getting a B. Smithi, i have a glass tank with dimensions H8" W24" D12" and a heat matt of 12 watts. what is the best substrate for the Smithi and since i live in the isle of man it is very cold so i would need the matt on during the day, i've tried the heat matt but the tank temp does not get as high as i need, i'm using a dial thermometer and will get a digital one soon. Am i using the right wattage heat matt and at night should i drop the temp of the heat matt using a thermostat?
any help would be gratefully received
