Not completely sure if this is the right forum or not.
Anyway, my room is very cold except in summer and early fall. Room temp is almost always under 70 degrees, even in mid-spring (right now). I keep a lot of small bugs, so heating them all with heat pads isn't feasible, and at night it dips even more, but I can't keep heat lamps on. Thankfully, none of them have died from low temps, but it takes a really long time for them to grow because the cold slows their metabolisms. I thought about using a space heater, but that would probably decrease the humidity a lot. I live with my parents right now and we can't afford extra heating in the 70s range. So is there any way to heat just my room enough for the bugs, or is there a type of small heat pad that would work on the side of deli cups and isn't incredibly expensive to buy for 30+ bugs?
