The other idea with the flex watt sounds pretty good (and really nice looking cages/racks) - I can barely use a screwdriver so that option would not work for me. If you have a large heat panel on one side, you could always add a second, smaller heat panel to the opposite end to keep ambient temps in the upper 70's/80 ish. I've done that with great success in cooler basement rooms.

>>Anyone keep their cages in basement or rooms that the temp is around 65-68 degrees.

>>What is our cage set up like to keep the temps up.

>>I do have a heat panel in my six ft vision cage, wrapped in silver insulated bubble stuff. ( I know you like that HH). I also started covering the glass with this so the heat stays in and seems to have worked, but I am afraid they will get aggressive being in the dark all the time. It may be good for them, but not sure. I am no pro.

>>

>>Not sure what else I can do to warm up the far end of the cage.

>>

>>My other thought is to make the heat panel set so the floor temp gets to be about 80 and then use the two heat lights on the other side.

>>

>>Or, get heat pads for the middle of the cage and set at 85 degrees.

>>

>>Thoughts?
