We had no radiators in here. But it was still T shirt warm.  Although I did try a heat cable thread around the enclosures during that period. But only times the cable to come on at night, as daytime temperatures were better. I also made sure the cable did not touch any enclosure. So nothing got too warm. We now have heat in the room & we get more molts during the winter. But the thermostat is still set at the same temperature!  So  I'm not sure the extra warmth makes a huge difference, as the annual cycle is still most molts in the summer & it does give a natural annual cycle, even if our winter temperatures are now higher than they were.</blockquote>
