In Reply to: Kelli H., question about the new racks you got... posted by SJ_SAM on May 07, 2003 at 11:47:57:

Sam-

They are heated with heat cable that is routed into the back of the rack. I have always used Matrix racks with heat from below but last year my husband and I built a rack and ran 11" heat tape down the back, the geckos do just as good in it.

I checked the temps in the back of the boxes and they are hovering right around 90 so they are getting the heat they need, it's just not direct belly heat.What I might do is purchase some foil tape and run stripes of it from the back of the sweater boxes to about 1/4" of the way down the bottom. I bet this will transfer more heat to the bottom. I'll keep you posted.
