Heating Methods For GTP?
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.

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/C...%20ENVIRONMENT

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).

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.
