Thank you for the very informitive thread on heating! I have been looking for something like that for over 2 months!

ya I bought a thermostat as well. I have 2 thermometers with probes, one is also a hygrometer. I guess I should also buy a basic one to measure air temps too?
I'll go buy a red light today and see how everyone reacts.

I kept the enclosure at a steady 74-76 last night by wrapping it with a towel, it's been pretty hot over here(104 during the day) so a good amount of heat was retained.
