    Winter Preparations

    hello everyone,
    Winter is finally here in the Midwest. I just wanted to hear how everyone gets ready for the winter months. I keep my three BPs in a 32qt rack from RBI with belly heat. The room stays in the low 70s. Do you think this will be enough?

    Re: Winter Preparations

    Ambient room temp of low 70s with a nice ~90 degree hot spot is fine IMO. If you want to keep things a bit warmer then I'd suggest an oil filled radiator in the room.

    Another good idea is to use a window insulation kit on all the windows in your herp room. That will help to avoid cold drafts and hold the heat in the room better.

    Hope that helps

    How do you insulate your RBI racks?
