Same as you mate, (when i needed heat that is) but just waaay higher up, like 1-2 feet done it for me, this was when i had my tanks in my main room that got very cold on the winter nights. i got a melted exo lid too haha, so yeh, just put it up higher. out of interest what animals are you heating??

And also, does anyone know of anywhere that will sell JUST the exo terra tops??
