>>Who here has Boaphile cages (or any cages similar; total enclosures, basically) and what sources of heat do you use (given that you cannot provide overhead heating)?

>>

>>Is it common just to use under-tank heaters or something else?

I have AP cages with heat cord and flexwatt this does not provide enough heat in a room that is below 68 degrees. Right now I am using a 58 watt RHP and keeps the warm side 86-89 degrees and the cool end 68-70. This room is only heated to 60-65 degrees.



My AP racks are in the same boat 80-83 is the highest temp that I can maintain in a 60-65 degree room using flexwatt and a Helix control set to 90 degrees. Flexwatt, Heat cord and UTB heat pads from zoo med do not work well in temps lower then 68 degrees.
