Heating Methods For GTP?

[Beardonicus]

I will probably be getting a GTP in the future and I was wondering how you guys heat yours and what you think is the "best" way to do so. Thanks!

What type of enclosure would you be keeping it in? I know people who have had good success using heat tape on the back of the enclosure.

I am also looking for ways to heat GTP enclosures.

-Where can I get heat tape from and how does it work?

I will most likely be using BARRS caging.

Which size of the Barr's caging will you be using? the smaller one, I forget the size, I've seen quite a few ppl just use 8" dome lights. And the bigger one, you could go that route or even get a heat panel installed. The Barr's cages are really nice for the money.

RHP all the way!

Radiant Heat Panels are great once you've got them set up in their adult cages... for babies, a dome light will work, or heat tape/heat pad...

Check this site out, Greg has a great care section :) http://www.chondroweb.com/fineGTPs/Care_sheets.html#PROPER%20CAGING%20AND%20ENVIRONME NT

Greg Maxwell's stock is awesome. I'm hoping to get my first pair from him, sometime early next year (or whenever available after that time). :D :D

Yes Greg does have some awesome animals. He has some really kick @ss pairings planned for this upcoming season. I better start saving my pennies now!

I have been using 25 watt light bulbs in winter and 15 watt light bulbs in summer for years. This method works well for 2 x 2 wood boxes with sliding glass fronts, just make sure you have a thermometer in the cage and have the lights on a timer.
