[QUOTE="Therasoid, post: 52342, member: 3538"] Space heaters are the most used and preferred by most keepers. However, I only use heater that are U.L. listed, higher cost but better and safer than others on the market. Of the many types available today, I use ceramic heaters most. My oil filled, DeLonghi, is used during January & February when temps are in the 10-0 degree range. If you have problems with humidity in your residence an oil filled is best. Its a radiant heat and doesn't dry out the air as quickly as "milk house" heaters. As spideynoob stated, a heat mat on the side, controlled by a thermostat is an option. Flex a Watt makes excellent flat heat mats in a variety of sizes and wattages. I use them on my roach colony's tank and a 20 gallon tank that houses sling enclosures kept at 85 degrees ( +/-1degree ). [/QUOTE]
