|  | Roadkill Subscriber | Join Date: Aug-05 Location: Western Sydney Age/Gender: 25  | | | | The best way to heat a tub is to use a heat pad which is controlled by a probe thermostat. One third of the tub should be placed on the heat pad so that you have a gradient of temps (preferably 26 cool end, 32 warm end) from one side to the other. Heat should be supplied 24/7 for hatchies/juvies.
Edit: I see he's in an enclsure rather than a tub... what is the enclosure made out of and how big is it?

When your infra red blows, you're best replacing it with a ceramic heat element they last longer.

The little guy must have been freezing at 3am with no heat  | | |
