>>More info about the cages would be helpful.
I am currently using heat lamps and CHE's. I guess i am looking to increase things with as little energy used as possible.
Cages vary in sizes from the small end 5 x 5 x 5 to large end 7h x 5d x 7w. I also have a savy monitor enclosure that is 3h x 5w x 5d.
Part of the problem is we recently moved which expanded my space. My temps are really much harder in the bigger room to keep good. Im keeping them there, but on the largest cage using 2 CHEs to get it up high enough. I have to buy a new room heater and that may solve the problem, but just looking at other options.
All enclosures are floor space wood. 2 of them have 5 side wood, top screen/plexi. The other is 4 sides plexi, wood base and top combo screen/plexi. This is for my personal animals. The rescue stuff I cant make any permanant changes to caging, due to the fact that I never know what will be in that cage in 2 months or so.
I spose most of it stems from wanting to lower my electric bills.
