What other heating options for reptiles are there besides heating lamps and those under tank pad2007-11-24 2:03:44Answers:

That's basically it. You can get heat tape, which is similar to heatpads. You COULD get a heat rock, but I don't trust those, they are much harder to regulate. They used to be fairly unreliable, and while their producers claim to have improved them, I still think they're too risky.

stick the reptile in the sun or the oven. Its your choice.

What kind of reptile? For aquatic reptiles you can add a heater like you would a fish tank. For a non aquatic reptile they have things like vines that are heated for them to climb on and a heating coil that would go under the sand or whatever substrate you use. I heard that heating rocks aren't good though since the reptile can burn itself.

I have tree frogs and i got the stick heating pads and put them on the sides of the cage.they get warm but dont make the glass hot so it doesnt bother my frogs. I put one on each side and then theres always the hot rocks.they absorb heat from the heating lamps and stay warm. hope this helps

I personaly keep my reptiles in a heated room - I work out what air temp I want, put the correct ammount of heaters into the room with my reptiles and there we go. If my reptiles need high humidity I simply put warm water in a sprayer and spray +- 2 times a day. If you have reptiles that need more heat than another then put them closer/further to the heater as needed.
