Reptile Room Heating?

if you set all your vivs up with ceramic heaters and pulse stats you shouldent need any other heating sources.

I agree with the tubular heaters idea. We have been fitting out some drying rooms at an outward bound centre in the lakes. The electricians fitted a couple of these on thermostats in each room and they do the business.
When we enquired as to why they use them we were told that - 1 they were usually problem free. 2 give a very gentle heat - and 3 cost very little to run.
When i asked about using them to heat a snake room they said "ideal" but add a ceiling fan (B&Q £20 and with a light!) on a slow setting to gently move the air around or you get differing temps at different heights in the room (not good if you have stacked vivs)
Now thats unusual in the building trade, a helpful lecky!!!

Yes i also use fans to help move the air around with my greenhouse heaters.
