Moon's Graden

I have just moved to a new apartment where the temperature in my lizard's
tank gets too cold at night.  I didn't have this problem in the apartment
that I just left.  So, now I need to get a night-time heat source.  What
night-time heat source is best to get for the Longtail Lizard?  Also, what
can I do to keep the tank warm enough at night until I can get the
heat-source?

Thanks in Advance for any Help.

The ceramic heaters work fine.(ALSO VERY EXSPENSIVE)
But!!! do not place it where your lizard can come into contact with it
because your lizard will get burned very bad!
 What I do for my snakes is use heating lamps, both day and night lamps.
I also have have a heat strip I bought from a pet shop under one side of
the tank.
On very cold nights I place a towel over half of the tank and lamps on
the other side (DO NOT LET THEM TOUCH) this works real good.
 Also you should invest a digtial temp thermometer with a temp alarm it
will let you know if the tank is to hot or to cold because you set the
hi/lo temps.
good luck

PS: Its great to own herps but when using
all the heating sources make sure you invest in some smoke detectors and
do not over load outlets.
