    Quick heating question

    Im looking into switching from a glass tank to a PVC/Boaphile type enclosure. My room temperature is colder (70F give or take a few degrees both ways)
    How do I heat it? A heat mat on the cool side set to 80F and a heat mat on the warm side set to 90F (attached to a thermostat of course) Would that be an effective way?
    Thanks for your help

    UTH do no heat air well you may need to look to a heat system that is not radiant in nature a bulb (convection) of some kind. Fluorescent lights would be my first suggestion, cheap and safe. I usually pay only around 10$ for fixture and tubes. You can always try something else if it fails likely you will want a light anyway.
