Hi all! I'm in the process of rehoming all the critters into a large stacked unit. I was just wondering if anyone else had tried using standard 1kW(ish) room heaters in their setups? My thoughts were to use one of those for background temperature & then a normal basking lamp for those that need it. Since they tend to be little more than £10, it seems like it must be too good to be true compared with the £50-odd for a reptile-specific thermostat & heater.

my people were sent here as a servant for stealing a couple apples...

i'm good with that..

I have a thermostat controlled 1K oil radiator to provide a minimum background temperature in my herp room which keeps it at an acceptable night drop after lights out.
