i've recently acquired 2 exo-terra 45cm cubes which i intend to use for young gtp's , can anybody advise on a few possible heating set-ups,preferably for a room where the ambient air temp can drop to the low sixties farenheit,i would prefer not to use ceramic bulbs if possible to maintain humidity levels.

Exo-Terra have recently brought out in the UK a range of hoods. Two are available to my knowledge. One is designed more for lighting but the other has the option to fit two GU-10 heat bulbs as well as two fluorescents.

Here is a link

We have some in at the shop (see link in my profile) If i remember correctly they retail at about £80 (not cheap but they do look very good.

You could always go for a heat mat under the tank and do it the old fashioned way

One thing that I would do is cover as much of that screened top as possible, it will be almost impossible to maintain correct humidity otherwise.

i know the exo-terra lids are good, but £80 is a bit steep! its more than the tanks cost each!, think somebody got their sums wrong there!
another minus point is tanks cant be stacked with those on either.
nope think i know what i'm doing,i've just got a real nice bulb guard which fits to a vivarium roof via the bulb holder,it works a treat.
