Sorry if this is a revamp of something that's already been talked about, but...........What type of heating devices does everyone use for their garters? I've always used heat lamps (ok, my first garter I used a hot rock....I know, I know...it was back in the early 80's when they were big for herp heating then!...he lived with it for 9.5yrs), and they work well, but I'm looking at setting up a stacking cage setup and using heat lamps isn't going to be really practical. I know Feltzer uses heating pads or tape or something for belly heat only, but I've noticed that wild garters like to actually bask in the sun and that all my garters do the same under their heat lamps. My kingsnakes will actually hide under something that's under a light rather than sit directly under the light....so I imagine the garters aren't just there because it's warmer. Let me know your thoughts and experiances.

Thanx.......Roy
