Heating recommendations for PVC enclosures with a screen lid?
Right now I'm using heat lamps on my 4'x2'x18" Zen Habitats, which I DESPISE. They dry out the enclosures why too fast, I can't get them to a good temp, and they heat up the entire room, which isn't ideal for my crested gecko. I've been told that heat panels can't be used with screen lids, and I've also been told that heat pads/UTH's can't be used on PVC.
i love having them in these big enclosures, but It's so difficult to maintain the humidity and temps that I'm almost tempted to put them back in the rack system I used to have them in (rack hasnt been in use for half a year now, I don't believe in using them as long term housing anymore as my reptile keeping journey has progressed, don't worry.)
please help, how should I best heat these enclosures and keep my precious babies healthy??
