| Erm, low wattage red bulb or heat mat on the back maybe - to be honest I have never thought about it so not the best person to answer. |

i reckon just a heat mat roughly the size of the back of the tank placed at the back of the tank will be fine..

that's too big really, you should never go for more than one third of any surface whether it's the floor, back or ceiling.

Whatever you use, don't forget the thermostat!
You don't want him to cook when your house heating comes on too. |

I know they can't see red light, I've never heard anything saying they can't see blue though...
