[QUOTE="Phil, post: 76811, member: 4151"] Sad to hear the news when reading through this. Also. My two-penned on heat pads. I agree 100% that room temps of mid to high 70s is best way to go but if that is not possible (UK most of he year....lol) then a small powered heat mat, WITH a thermostat along with a layer of cork background or similar at the bottom (I. E. Unable to burrow past) I have always found to be acceptable and never troubled any of my T's in 20+ years. So all you have to do is find he right way formyour own particular circumstances and work round it. I only use 5 watt max for all mine, they are on stats, have covers wherever the heat is (side or bottom mounted) and also use a variable dial on the power line so 5 watts is actually hardly ever reached. Not everyone will agree with my methods, but works for me. [/QUOTE]
