I researched the heaters. Most of the smaller mat type heaters are fine for acrylic tanks, so I would assume the softer plastic as well. I thought about using seed heat mats. I've used those on particle board shelving and the seed trays are plastic (for seeds and plant cuttings; not millies). But that wouldn't be ideal for side mounts and they can raise the temp upwards of 20 degrees. And with 23 enclosures, would be a lot of checking everyday. I think my best option is my little ceramic heater I bought at Walmart. I think it was $30 and it has a safety feature if it gets knocked over it shuts itself off. I may have to move them to a small bedroom - not sure I want to live in 75+ degrees! I like having them near me so I can watch them. Much better than TV.
