Belly and back heat

[Norrad]

I'm working on setting up something new to house my animals in. Has anyone here used back heat as opposed to belly heat? If so please share your stories of how it worked out etc.

I personally haven't but I believe Gregg M uses back heat to heat up his racks so if he doesn't reply here you might want to get in contact with him. Or search for his name because I think he posted something about it once.

I have a homemade rack and I use backheat and it has been perfect for me. I use 4 strips of 11'' heat tape.

I prefer belly heat as apposed to back heat. For me, the animals grow better with heat on their tummies, and with back heat it just made my gecko room a lot hotter.

I prefer tum tum heat as well , it just with the setup I'm about to do its not going to be very easy nor practicle. So I was hoping to get some other imput that it does work well. Being down here in FL heat isn't too much of an issue here lately for sure haha. But the winters still get cold and my herp room gets a bit drafty in the winters.

Thanks for the inputs so far I'd still like more if anyone would care to share :main_yes:

I have used both belly and back heat over the years, and now I use exclusively back heat for geckos. I seem to keep heat more constant with back heat. Marcia is right though back heat makes the room HOT.

Well all thanks again for the input, looks like back heat it will be. As I said I have a few ideas that I'm hoping pan out and if they do I'll post about them
