I am still at least a year away from breeding, but I found this non-working 50 bottle wine cooler for $25 and couldn't pass it up.

I am considering how to add heat. I have about 4 feet of 6" THG heat tape that I could use, but I'm wondering if that would provide enough heat to a wine cooler of this size. Outside dimensions are roughly 39' high x 23' x 22'.

If that is enough heat, how should I run the heat tape. I was thinking about running it down the back, but the back isn't straight down to the bottom, it has a big ledge/bump at the bottom, I assume where the compressor is housed.

I was considering running it down one side, along the bottom and up the other side, in a U shape, but it would only come up about a foot on either side, would that be ok? Would heat reach the top? I can add computer fans, but am not sure about what the best placement of those would be either. I will definitely add water bottles, probably to both the top and bottom.

Any help would be great, thanks.
