Hi folks,
in several posts recently, ive been explaining the difficulties of heating screen cages in cool climates and at night. Typical setups having a singular heat source above the cage, means rising heat from the light/bulb is lost and a vertical thermal gradient is therefore difficult to acheive.
I've recently been considering discussing possible alternatives/extras to help overcome this issue.
One idea that comes to mind are Radient Heat Panels, which now are manufactured with inbuilt heat fuses, thermostats and are even water resistant.
Id like to get your thoughts on the idea of experimenting with their use Bottom of screen cage, prefrably outside where a cham on the floor cannot contact it as an alternative to both night time heating (ceramics), since heat rises, and for help in maintaining warmth in the cage (as heat rises through) for folk in colder climates.
What are your thoughts?
