Hi,
I built a 13'x 5'x 7' high cage for my monitor lizard in my basement. I used one corner of the basement as the back and right side of the cage. Insulated the ceiling and walls really good with 2" thick dowboard and 4" on the floor. Then covered every thing with 5/8 plywood,and painted.
The front of the cage is all 1/4 plexiglass. Its very tight and seems to hold in heat pretty well.
The oil filled radiator does a good job of heating up the cage.
My problem or question is, being this cage goes from floor to ceiling, most of the good temps I need are about a foot from the ceiling.Theres about a 15 degree difference from floor to ceiling, How can I get more heat down around the floor area?
thanks alot
