Id say heat tape or heat cable hooked up to a thermostat, if your rooms a bit colder may you should think about putting them in a warmer room, if not the just bump up the temps as needed.

can i use this heat cable http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/16290/product.web and what temp should i set the cableon so not to melt the tubs???

 

[snakegirl]

i use that, the zoomed cable but remember with ANY heat cable,mat,wire, Anything you choose to use you must have a thermostat to control it. here are a few links

thermostats i use the Ranco ETC-111000 Pre Wired with my rack and the zoo med cable.
