Has anyone had racks with both back heat and belly heat. (not together) Did you find that one works better? Thanks in advance.

I think cages heated by belly heat work much better. I have both, and spent alot of money on a cage heated from the back. I hate the cage! There is a significant temp. gradient from top to bottom. I also get better growth rates with belly heated cages.

I agree with Bill.. belly heat is preferred over back heat. I have also found that back heat raises the room temperatures much more than with belly heat, which can actually narrow the thermal gradient across the enclosures.
