Close the vent in the herp room. Open all other vents. Set for your comfort. Close the door to the herp room. Heat it with an oil filled radiator type heater and use a ceiling fan to circulate the air for an even temp.
Put the BT in a cage = build a cage around the existing basking shelf.

Other than the BT, what else are you keeping? If they are not tropical, let the room temp drop and let the Herpstats do their work. You might be surprised how much some herps will use the cool temps. Do not do this with tropicals!
