I have a black light on them at night. It only raises the temp like 5 degrees, so I guess it's really more for me than them.

I know others might criticize me, but I have undertank heaters on for mine...I figure it's cold in the room and I'm sleeping under a down comforter, but I'll probably change that in the summer.
