Help with heating a viv please!

[happyhog23]

Hi, have also posted on the hedgehog forum - my afrcian pygmy hedgehog will be arriving soon but at the moment i have no central heating (will be having it installed v soon!) have bought a snugglesafe but need something else to make sure the viv is warm enough (especially at night) i was going to get a heat mat but some people have said they only heat one small area?

can anyone advise me on something that would be suitable?

thanks!

you can get different size and wattage heat mats so it depends on how big the enclose is but i would recommend using a thermostat to as they can get hot with out one hope this helps as i have never kept these animals be for only gecko's and beard dragons
