    well what would you do if you had a wooden enclosure and had to heat it??
    im in the process of building one and i dont want to use heat lamps anymore and im not sure of what a good source of heat would be.
    give me anything, i can modify the enclosure anyway so any ideas will help.
    thanks

    Radiant Heat Panel. Radiate warmth, but will not burn if touched. You mount these on the ceiling of the enclosure. You can either use one or two depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of heat needed.

    Hope this helps.
