Heated floors is causing tank to overheat
I cherish that this modern home has underfloor heating.
It is so nice & comfortable for me.
However, it is also posing a bit of a problem! You see, I have a pet bearded dragon lizard. Yes, lizards cherish the heat. My bearded dragon likes running around on the moderate floor. The only concern is that I keep his tank on the floor too. I do this so that he can definitely get in & out of the tank himself. However, with the radiant floors, the tank is getting way too hot; Glass traps the heat & it turns into an oven… Even though I turned off the bearded dragon’s heat lamp it is still getting over 100 degrees in the tank. I tried putting tile blocks under the tank to lift it off of the floor a little bit however now the lizard can’t get in or out by himself. Also, a few inches separating the tank from the heated floor does not seem to be enough. The tank is still getting honestly hot. I know I am going to have to get a tank sit to put the tank on. Then it will be a wonderful 3 feet from the heated floor. This should solve the overheating issue. Then I will just have to make a ramp or something so that the bearded dragon can still run around the apartment when he wants & bask under his heat lamps when he wants. Another thought is to just get rid of the tank all together. I could just put the heat lamp & UV lamp in a corner of the home office. I don’t know. But I will figure it out.
