Hi.
You can get pig blankets ( Kane Pads) from the Bean Farm, you'll need the reostat too.Also ceramic heat bulbs, you need to buy the hoods for them too.
I hang a ceramic heat bulb from the ceiling of my sulkcatas overnight shed ( 6'-8').
One is plenty for me, it hangs down from the ceiling, about 4-5' off the ground.
But I live in a warm climate, you'd probably need a couple of them.
The ceramic heat bulbs would be good for during the night as they don't emit any light.
If you use kane pads as well, I wouldn't put them directly beneath the lamps,(but in a different area of the tort house) too much overhead and underbelly heat.
During the day maybe the active UV heat bulbs would work for you.

Anyway here's a link to the Bean Farm. The items I've ordered from them arrived in just a couple of days.
