Hi,


I thought the repti-temp was an on/off thermostat? Does that mean you have a flashing bulb or does the one you have not give off any visible light?

If it gives off no light then I would leave it on 24/7 - other wise I would probably use a dimmer switch to control the lamp instead as flashing lights can cause stress in the animals and family around it.

As to the insulation Mine is simply fixed onto the outside of the glass tank with good heavy duct tape.

The tinfoil will help a little but it really isnt very good at keeping temperatures up in the same way that cork or polystyrene is.
