Heat Cables...

Green Bean

I plan on making all three of my corn's vivs. into more natural looking vivs.

For substrate I plan on using coco bedding or a soil mixture and was wondering, to heat it, a UTH heater wouldn't really work considering the dense substrate. So would heat cables in the soil do the trick. I guess what i am trying to do is heat the soil.... If not I'll switch to a heat emitter and monitor (raise/lower) the humidity manually..........

Oh also, with humidity, since the stick on guages aren't suggested and all I've seen are the duel digital temp/humidity guages, do you guys have two different types of guages in your tanks. One wiht a probe for temp of warm area and then the duel digital temp/humidity guages?
 
Your corn might dig through the soil & get to the heat cable & either burn himself or move the cable so that it is touching itself which would create a fire hazard.
 
I use the Flukers dual temp/humidity gauges- they match what my house thermostat says. I think they are accurate enough.
