tubular heaters ? (household heaters)

[ozzy1983]

has anyone used one of those tubular heaters that can be used in greenhouses and small rooms etc?

a small one can cost as little as 15pence a day so add a stat to that and as long as it produces the heat could cost less

just wondering if anyone else has used one so i can redesign my viv build to have one built in safely.

i know they are not the exact right kit but im sure there are no reasons not to have one just to build up some extra warmth in a large viv

a fair few of us monitor keepers use them.

I use them in some of my viv's.
As long as they are on a stat and have a guard then they are fine.
