Yesturday I finally got my flexwatt taped down. So i had to test it and see how things worked out. My hot side is sitting at 93 degrees, but my cool side is at a meesly 74 degrees. This isnt a major problem because i dont have any snakes yet, and wont until late august. But what makes this a problem, other than the temperature being almost 10 degrees too cold, is that i am moving out in a couple weeks and my room will be in a basement. The basement isnt that cold, but it doesnt sit at 72 degrees like the room in my house does.

I'd really rather not heat the whole room to 80 degrees, because i have to live down there too, and well im not cold blooded lol. I could try insulating the tubs, but i built the rack so that there is less than a quarter inch above the tub, so there isnt much room in there.

My other thought is to drape a sheet over the top of the rack to help insulate the whole rack. The only problem is the temperature swings i will get when i open the sheet.

I could really use some advice, and i appreciate any help i can get
