What heating source do you use?!

[Misstasha]

I switched from basking lights to heat tape - anyone else on here use heat tape?! how affective is it?!

 

[gitrdone0420]

UTH for me. =]

 

[T-ReXx]

Heat tape. Most effective heating method for multiple enclosures(racks) imo. Waaaaay better than lights for leos because leos do best with belly heat.

 

[leogecko88]

Red heat lamp for me. Provides excellent belly heat. I measure the temps on the floor of the tank, and the warm side is around 94.

 

[OneFootedAce]

heat tape for racks, UTH for tanks...pretty much the same thing lol

 

[Jheuloh]

I use a 100 watt red heat-lamp. I've got a probe-thermometer sitting above Khalil's warm-den to measure the temperature on the ground, although it hovers around 85 for now, it'll get warmer as summer reemerges.

UTH and Heat Tape

 

[robin]

i have AP racks wired with heat cable

 

[Angel]

uth on 2 tanks and heat tape for the 3rd (we cant buy it up here in canada though , the breeder i bought my leos from gave it to me )

 

[Yamori]

I seldom ever use any heating equipment in my enclosures being that i live in tropical Queensland but in winter i use a basking lamp.

 

[reptilekeeper]

i have a red basking light over sunshines warm hide that stays around 90. she sits on it and will most of the time sleep on it right under the light.

 

[HugeGenes&LoLa]

UTH and heat cables. Lauren and I are afraid of heat tape because a) we don't know what we're doing with the wiring and b) we've heard horror stories about how heat tape has tendencies to malfunction. So you put a and b together, and you get a real bad idea. Heat cables work just fine for us.

I'm gonna use a basking light with mine hooked up to a dimmer. Save the $100 by not getting a t stat since I'm using tanks not a rack

 

[thegeckoguy23]

sence i have a rack i use heat cable because that im trying to get some heat tape heat tape rules and is more convient also

 

[spykerherps]

AP racks with heat cable. those that are not using heat cable use heat tape. both used with thermostats.

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

I have heat tape with my AP racks

 

[Doubelminttwin]

Three UTH's and two lights, the heating light usally does a good job of heating up their rock hide that they like to lay on so they get belly heat and basking heat

 

[janjgeckos]

Flexwatt on adult racks and cable on the hatchling racks (only because they were designed for cable). Any new hatchling racks will be flexwatt

 

[Remy]

I use a UTH, works great.

 

[Latlaw]

I have 20 gal longs and use UTH's and add an infrared light in the winter to keep temps up. Everything hooked to thermostats set at 93.
