Are you trying to heat entire cages to a warmer temperature or rather just trying to increase the temperature of the basking area?



If you're trying to increase the basking area then room heat might disapoint you. But if you just want the room to be a bit warmer I've actually had very good luck with the oil-filled, radiator style heaters.



I used to heat a 13'x12' room to 82* to 85* and it only added about $20 to my electric bill - even when it got very cold in the winter. The room had very large windows, a thin door, and I did nothing to increase the insulation.
