I was just wondering how you guys go about heating the middle and the bottom of your Vivs. I have a 4ft high Viv and the heating at the top is no problem but it is around 20- 25°F lower at the bottom directly under the basking spot.

Could I put a heatmat inside the Viv but under the bark to provide a bit of warmth at the base? Or what do you recommend.

Thank you

another basking light half way down hot side? or tape a heatmat to the wall

I did think of fitting another light, or a ceramic half way down, but I wanted to get your opinions incase I was being silly lol.

The Viv is for a Green Iguana.
