I've been using a red light, but plan on getting a heat pad as soon as the bulb burns out... the thing has been on almost 24/7 for like 3 months now and it still hasnt burned out...

What type of heat pad? Because the people type have auto shut offs for safety. And the ZooMed ones are for glass only, not plastic. So I am on what to use.

Do a quick search, you'll find stuff.

What about a seedling heat pad? Some come with a thermostat so you can control the temp, are waterproof and you can use them under plastic. I use them for seedlings this time of year but I would see it working just as well for feeders.

What size tank do you have and bulb on it? Maybe I will use a bulb instead.

I just have a 20 gallon right now, when my colony grows I'm gonna use a big plastic bin.
