Hey everyone,
I was wondering what options I have for heating the bottom of my tank. For now I have heat lamps, and Steve (the gecko) seems to be liking it.
I built fake rocks with foam\grout, and made a piece to cover the floor of the tank, as well. I do have some reptile carpet cut into sections on the floor, but I'm not sure what I could do for heat. I'm pretty sure that the foam would either melt or not transfer heat to the other side (it is originally insulation, after all).
Should I just stick with the lamps? I've check temperature and everything seems to be good, Hot hide is 87-90*F, cool hide is lower 80s during the day and mid 70s at the end of the night (There's a daytime light). Here's a pic of the setup, if it matters at all:
