Hi there,
I'm about to start a breeding colony of woodies as soon as my Fluon arrives from Herpshop. I have just been reading on a thread here that heat is needed to promote maximum breeding activity. I'm in Melbourne and will be keeping them in the cold garage outside, so I'm guessing a heat mat or similar will be in order. Truth is I've seen so many house-burnt-down pics I'm terrified to get one, I don't know where to start! Please help me with some advice on what to do here!
- I'm using a large plastic tub from a $2 shop, about 1m x 0.5m. It has variances in clearance under the tub, ranging from 5mm - 10mm.
- I only need to keep the the warm, in the high twenties
- As this is only for woodies, I'd prefer not to spend hundreds and hundreds on a heating unit if possible, but then again I'd prefer to avoid burning my house down with a cheap and nasty model.
- Can anyone please offer advice on where I should begin in solving this final hurdle before commencing breeding? If anyone can recommend brands of heat mats etc I would be much obliged.
Cheers!
