    Re: Enclosure

    I would say probably some Heat tape on half of the tank on the bottom out side the tank and a radient heat panel on the same half on the top inside the tank.Be sure to use a thermostat to keep the temps regulated. You can find all of thesed things athttp://bigappleherp.com/ Hope this helps.

        I'm just starting to use RHP's so I'm not a professional at this, but from what I've been told to use in my tank, I'd say probably the smallest on they have on that site would work for your tank. Which is 11" x 11", 24 watts. But Like I said, I'm not for certain. They have a 800 number that you can call, and they would be able to help you with all of your heating questions.
