Here's an idea: Contact Bob Pound at Pro Products and talk to him about radiant heat panels. We use them inside our exhibit cages but they can also be mounted to ceilings of homes for residential use. You would be amazed at how well these things heat up an entire room and it is very cheap to operate. Just something to consider.

>>Hi,

>>

>>I figured this was the best forum to post this in, I find that when I post in the ball pythons / retic forum nobody wants to talk about anything other than breeding

>>

>>So we just moved into a new house and I finally have my own reptile room. The only problem is that the house is really old and doesn't heat up very well / hold heat..

>>

>>So I figured I could throw a space heater in the room to heat it up and so I don't run my gas bill through the roof by trying to keep the whole house hot.

>>

>>I'm located in Georgia and it's been getting pretty cold around 30 outside..

>>

>>The problem with the space heater is that it is making the room SUPER dry... Does anyone have any suggestions to keep the humidity up in the room while keeping it warm? I came in the morning and outside of the cages there was hardly any humidity but inside the cages it is probably less than what it should be..

>>

>>Thanks for the help in advance, just trying to pick some brains here
