So i have been looking at doing a combination of belly heat and back heat but i wanted to get some feedback from people that have experience using both at the same time before i purchase anything.
My idea is to use the belly heat for the hot spot and install some back heat to turn on during the colder months to help with the ambient temperatures. I was thinking that if i am trying to maintain the ambient temperatures i would want to install 21' heat tape on the side of the rack instead of the back to help with the temperature gradient. If i use the belly heat, which is at the back of the cage and back heat at the rear of the cage i dont think that would provide the gradient i'm looking for and would make it too hot at the back of the cage.
Let me know if im overlooking anything or anyone has an alternative idea.
Thanks !
