    Space heater for winter ambient temperatures?

    Hey

    Due to my currently living situation, my two year old BP is currently staying with some colleagues of mine about a block away from where I am living, they house him and I go see him every day and take care of his various needs/messes/what-have-yous. With winter coming up, I am a bit worried about the ambient temps in the house- they like to save money and keep things around 65 degrees during the winter, which might be a little too cold for my babe.

    I was wondering if a space heater could keep the 5' by 5' space around his cage sufficiently warm? The cage sits in a room that is very large and basically attaches to every other room in their apartment, so there is no way I could heat the entire space, but I would rather use a space heater rather than paying to heat their whole apartment if it will get the job done!

    Any ideas or other suggestions?

    Edit: I forgot to mention that yes, he does have a properly heated warm and cool side, but I don't want the ambient temps to drop so much that he relies solely on the warm side of the tank
