We do have a heat mat on the warm side. But the cool side is still too cool so we were going to add a infrared, but now we're doing the ceramic emitter instead (no light) and I do have a dimmer that I will plug that into. I'm exchanging the infrared for the heat emitter tonight.
We have a thermostat on the heat mat, but I actually just ordered the VE300x2 as well....
I think I'm getting there... I'm so glad we started setting up way in advance!!
