[QUOTE="Captain Firecat, post: 39428, member: 3530"] Hi all Enquiries are proceeding as to the temperature of my room, but assuming I need to add heating: How on earth do you heat a low tank?!? The guiding wisdom seems to be that the mat has to go on the side as the spider might burrow to cool and instead be moving closer to the mat under the tank. So the side/back, great, except every mat I own and every one I've seen are taller than my tank (6 inch high). Best I can think is that I make it so it hangs over the back of the cupboard it is on, so the 'spare' bit is below the ground level. I'm sure the answer is obvious, but I'm not seeing it... [/QUOTE]
