Also these heat tracks... are they ok to be placed under the "plastic" rim of the bottom o the tank?

I mentioned a tube heater this sort of thing:

Sunhouse Tube Heaters With Fitted Plug :: Tubular Heaters :: Tubular Heating :: Heaters :: CNM Online

i wouldnt have a clue where to start looking for these in the US but they are extremely common over here...

cheap and they dont get hot enough to burn to touch.

Heat a large area very efficiently.

Kims same as ackies just bigger.

15" id go for personally a few of my felllow UK keepers have had issues using shallower substrate depths and have had nesting issues.

Heating the substrate what are your ambient temperatures in your house on the floor?
