Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Heating Options
I have a few day geckos (2 enclosures of couples that were paired before I even got them, no worries there) but with winter coming up and it being a harsh one where I live last year, its about time I look into options for heating their tanks. What would be my best option outside of their heat lights?
Both tanks are 18x18x24 and already have proper lighting. A heating pad at the bottom of the tanks, but i feel like I could use a little more just to bump up the interior temp a bit more. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Check Amazon for reptile heat emitters.

The ceramic heat emitter bulbs will be more efficient and less drying than using regular reptile bulbs bulbs and go in a standard socket and reflector. They turn all the energy into heat instead of giving off any of it as light. There are larger infrared panels I have not gotten into. I mostly stick with the top heat infrared bulbs but humidity is usually not much of a concern for my species and they aren't demanding for high temps. Through the cold parts of winter I just added a small wattage regular light bulb to the cool side of my longer tank on a timer so it would warm up that side and the rock structure during daylight hours while adding some extra light. Rocks will then hold heat awhile after that so it didn't cool for anywhere near as long.

I also use ceramic heat emitters and love them. They really last a long time, much longer than any bulb. And they don't disturb photoperiod. Just remember that with any top-down heating, you need to watch out for humidity issues and spray more frequently if it becomes necessary.
