not too long ago i was actually looking for a way to heat the cool side of my 15qt tub i have. do you have any experience with plastic tubs and heat cable? just curious.
I try to avoid lamps cause of the humidity, the glass terrarium is in a custom made cabinet, so I would have to put a lamp on the inside and pet shops don't sell lamp cages here, to prevent burns... from ebay I have to wait ages to receive it.
So im left only with this two options. heat cable keeps ambient temps on the warm side at About 26 celzious, hot spot on 32.
Plastic tubs are great and keep heat n humidity better, got a piebald at work in plastic with cable, he sheds, eats and looks great. Mine home is in a big glass terrarium cause its just him FOR NOW haha, like a TV in my room because I stare at him all the time
