In Reply to: need some heating advice posted by Rachl on November 27, 2002 at 14:05:36:
heat the room. I use oil filled radiator to heat the entire room to a nice toasty 75-78F. However this is more practical if you have a lot of animals to keep warm. I do not recommend the UTH as these devices get way to hot (100F). They are designed for ground heat, meaning they need to have an inch or so of substrate over them to diffuse heat properly. However the use of a rheostat or thermostat could bring the UTH down to safe temps. Instead of UTH you might consider radiant heat panels. These look just like UTH, but are supposedly safe to mount on walls and ceilings without causing burns on contact. I would still use a heat-controlling device with them though. You can find both these products at www.bigappleherp.com. Anyway whatever method you choose make sure you safely test it out and calibrate temps before you use it on your geckos cage. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving =)
