Anybody know who makes a small heater, say needed to heat a reptile room. Looked for small forced air heater (furnace), came up empty handed. Also need a better way to heat my Iguana's cage 9'Lx7'Wx83"H. Any suggestions email

Sorry you were under the weather for yesterday's game after going on such a tear recently. Will you be in the lineup this evening?

Okay. Just funnin’ witch ya. The Big Hurt = Frank Thomas = longtime Chicago White Sox 1st baseman/designated hitter.

For the small room heater I would recommend one of those $50 or less oil-filled space heaters. They usually have a 600 watt/900 watt/1500 watt total output. Many people recommend the extra precaution of an external on-off thermostat in case of failure in the stuck on position of the heater’s thermostat. I’ve never had that problem, however, in at least 20 years of using them for supplemental heat during the winter.

I don’t keep green iguanas, but I assume you are already providing for UV year round? Have you looked into radiant heat panels, like from Pro Products or Helix?

Sorry, not a baseball fan. Military nickname. I looked into both of those manufactures and am waiting back on some info. Just wanted to see what others thought, often people have more insight than companies when it comes to products exspecially when it comes to reptiles. But Chad Brown endorses Helix so they must have some potential. Thanks for the info.
