>>I'm going to disagree with Rainbowsrus and Bighurt slightly. Years ago I had mixed species in racks and would actually house the species with greater heat requirements in the bottom and the cooler species at the top. This worked for me simply because I could place a clay hide over the hot spot on one of the lower levels and it would slightly heat the shelf above for the cooler species. In other words, the cooler species had no heat tape, only a small amount of residual heat from the thermal mass source below.

>>However, I won't suggest this is a situation that can be duplicated easily in any given environment. But it might work for you.
You can disagree with me all you want. The forum is intended for conjecture of different points of view. In my experience in my enviroment the top of my rack tends to be warmer, however slight. Although in truth its only the very botoom rack that recieves the least amount as it doesn't get heated from the radience of the cage below.
