[QUOTE="SikmT7, post: 160871, member: 10145"] If possible, your best bet would be to dedicate a room to them, especially with being how addictive this hobby is, your collection will grow quicker than you think. :) I have a room set up for my T's with a Lasko heater that has a thermostat on it. I set it to 78 degrees and it is the perfect temp for all my T's. I like to have it on the cooler side in my house as well, even in the winter I keep my heat thermostat at 60 degrees farenheit. I live in NJ and it can get pretty harsh here in the winter. Sometimes, temps drop to 10 degrees farenheit! I also put press n seal over the air conditioner to keep out the cold air from outside and have the doorway closed off to retain heat in the room. Another factor I took into consideration is that heat rises and I have my T room on the 3rd story of my house. Obviously, not everyone has an option to do this, but I would not use heat mats as I do not trust them, room heater is your best bet. [/QUOTE]
