Message: <blockquote data-quote="Casey K." data-source="post: 185185" data-attributes="member: 1090"><p>I would use a heat mat.....I never recommend them but in your case I would.  Instead of putting it under the terrarium I would stick it to the side.  Also, if you can use Uniheat heat packs.  Duration of heat varies.  Activate the heat pack, wrap it in paper towel and place it on top of the enclosure.  It will heat it up- but not excessively.  Its a small fix to your issue.  I would NEVER use a heat lamp no matter the circumstances.  Hope this helps.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
