heaters for rooms.

[BOWSER11788]

i have all my snakes on UTHs, and my beardies on baksing bulbs, and CHEs at night, but what type of relativly cheap, heater can sit in the room without making a smell, the reptiles are at my girls house and she is putting the heater in her room, so what would make a good one.

An oil filled one.

I use 2 of these on Double Rancos and have no complaints.

Keep the room a nice and toasty 82 degrees

i have no clue on any heaters 2k, but isn't there on you can plug in that has a t-stat built into it, its also gonna help heat her room at night, the cool side in the snale cages drop to 70 at night so i was just looking for somthing to keep the rooms ambiant temp up a little bit. but i checked the link and i've seen many of these before

EDIT- When ever buying a new oil radiator plug it in on high in a well ventilated room as they STINK for the first few hours of use. After that your golden.

That is a waste of money. You can get 60$ ones doing the same with less power. I run 3 1500watt space heaters i listed and i barely break 150 a month in electric bill.


When offering help try being economical

Try being educated before calling something a waste of money. Space heaters are a waste of money; they heat a little cube sized room that is why you need to run 4 of them! They suck humidity out of the air like crazy.

Those oil filled ones only heat 144 ft. Infared heaters heat 1000 sq feet and cost just under $30 a month to run.

I use one per 15x15 room. having 3 rooms with snakes in them heated to 81F and 51% room humidity is fine wiht me. Like i said i run 3 of these on top of the snakes heating and my lights in house and i barely break 150$ a month in electric.

Im not gonna argue over it. do what you want but the OP was looking for a cheap way to keep room temps up not go all out of something thats over kill.
