I've never been a big fan of back heat.

I always run my heat tape on the shelves so that they

have a nice warm spot to lay. I think the only real

way to make back heat work is if you also control the

temperature of the room (and you can keep it at ~75-80).

Note: You should always make sure that you don't have

any surface in the cage that is warmer than ~95 (and of

course they should always have a cooler spot to go to

if they like). Hope that helps.
