[QUOTE="jacobparker, post: 204642, member: 37822"] That’s awesome! I didn’t even know of heating cables. After reading, I’d still use heat mats for my situation, but good to know. Agreed with the area heater. An unnecessary risk and cost. Also, they dry up the enclosure awfully fast. I’ve tried them in the past. this is what happens when you trust one YouTube source vs. checking multiple reputable guys. and yes, no sense in cranking the heat just for the t’s. In my other reply, I’ve explained the temperature situation in my enclosure. If you have the heat cord then it should apply to you as well. The temp inside the enclosure won’t matter nearly as much as the temp around the individual enclosures. It provides them with the gradient and I feel that if I got the housing temp to “optimal temp” then in reality I’m baking the ts a bit considering the actual temp near them is much higher. thank you for your reply, I’d like to see your setup. i still have to finish my cover latch system, but I’ll show ya my current setup. I also need lights! As you can see, simply moving the thermometer has changed the reading nearly 10 degrees. Highly recommend an infrared temp gun [/QUOTE]
