I use under-tank heaters (like thin plastic sheets that stick to the bottom of the tank) for my reptiles, and I bought a thermostat to keep them at exactly the right temperature. Once it's set up, it's very easy to keep the temperature correct. Set-up is pretty straightforward too!

If you have any more questions about leos or reptiles in general, I'd be more than happy to help you out.
