[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 335173, member: 10818"] I'm getting ready to move my Gongys into their permanent enclosure and have a question about heating. Since this species need high temps, I've been using a heat lamp but I ordered a couple of low wattage heat mats as well. The manufacturer says that these heat mats can be used [B]inside[/B] the enclosure. My instincts tell me that I should place the mats [B]outside[/B] of the enclosure, but I don't know how much heat will be lost as it passes through the glass... but I don't want to roast them either. Anyone have ideas or suggestions? Will mantids move away from damaging heat and find a comfort zone? [B]Update[/B]: I'm reading articles now that say heat mats should never be used with glass! Anyone use glass and a heat mat? [/QUOTE]
