Re: reptilebasics heat tape issues

With heat tape, you either heat the entire room to the minimum ambient temperature, or you will have to buy an ambient heater like an RHP or CHE. There's simply no way around it, heat tape is not designed to heat the air and does not do it well. Especially in a full-sized viv.

With a 3' enclosure you should only need a single 40 watt RHP, especially since it's only a foot tall.
