I was wondering how you guys heat your T's.

I am currently keeping my Ts in a room heated to 80 degrees but now that is no longer an option as that room is going to be used for another purpose. So, guys I was also wondering if there were any convenient alternatives and what I would use to heat them. I have no closets, rooms or cabinets of any kind to heat to put my Ts in so please help.

Thanks,
Nick

I know there are a TON of threads on this already, but I'm too lazy to get the links for you.. I'll let a member of the "Search Police" handle that LOL

The general consensus is that your Ts should be fine at room temps, with a few exceptions.

I, personally, do not have any specially heated area for my Ts.

The 'search police' wouldn't get the links for you, they would tell you to look for them yourself. :D The advanced search is very helpful if you search by thread titles and in Questions and Discussions. (i am not a member of any type of law enforcement!)

It has been hashed over many times, but the general consensus is : if it is comfortable enough for you, it is fine for the T. The only exceptions to this i have seen, are by people living in Europe.

So,Ts are fine at 68 degress?
Even if you have breeding projects going on and the females are laying sacks?

We have never bred, so i can't tell you anything about that. i do know things have to be controlled more though.

i know heat tape is something that is used and is supposed to be better than the heaters you stick on the side.(ours was crap and barely got warm) Maybe a search for heat tape would yield you some good results.:D

I should get some of that tape. Last time we ever used a space heater, the electric bill was double! :eek:
