[QUOTE="jacobparker, post: 204641, member: 37822"] Haha! Yes, I’ll be down to 2 heat pads or as you suggested possibly 1. I’ll have to see how well they work. I’ve added more foam since, raising the enclosures, as well as limiting the air inside needing to heat up. I bought an infrared temp gun and it’s so handy. The area near the ts is much warmer than other air in the enclosure so they are able to self regulate and find their comfortable spots. I realized that the thermometer isn’t a good indicator for this type of housing because of this. Each enclosure within the winter housing has its own local temp in regards to its proximity to the heat pads. While my temp reads 70 degrees, the enclosures all have areas reaching high 70s. [/QUOTE]
