hey folks....this has probably been covered a hundred times already but i guess now its my turn....
well fall is here and at night we open our windows rather than PAY to run the A/C to cool the house.....its not getting toooo cold yet but it will soon and in the winter our house always has cool spots in it (no central heat and A/C)....well tonight it is about 60 degrees outside and i looked and inside the T tank and it is about 70.....i really dont want the big T and the babies to get this cool....and the spot the Ts are in isnt always the warmest place in the house during the winter.......but i rule out putting them somewhere else in the house...it just isnt as convenient as their current location......so, i was thinking that my adult T might have to go to a smaller container (currently 10 gal aquarium) such as a pet pal, kritter keeper or whatever (i havent purchased anything like that yet..that is for another thread)..and besides he is an adult male G. rosea and he hardly ever moves anyway so he really doesnt need all that space....
and i want to put the large T with the smaller Ts into some sort of enclosure with a thermostatically controlled heat source.....does anyone make some kind of reptile heater or anything with a thermostat that is adjustable with DEGREES marked on it??..if not have any of you fabricated one..if so what did you do and how did you do it.....and please dont waste space on this thread telling me how "it isnt worth all the effort involved" or to just move them to a better spot, because im not going to move them and it wouldnt be too much effort to build something no matter how hard.....it might even be fun.....(even more so if i succeeded!!).....i would like the enclosure to be at least semi displayable....i dont want them in just some sort of dark box with a reptile heater in it....also...i rule out using a light bulb of any kind as a heat source and i rule out those walmart type space heaters....they would dry out the air too much......
sorry if i sound too picky/bitchy but its 3am.....what do you expect!?!?LOL;P
