is it a smart idea to put a hotwater bottle in my beardies tank at night to keep her warm at night ... as it is gettin to winter and living in scotland is pretty cold for some people i was wonderin if it was a good idea to pop one in over night or is this a bad idea???

My lil one Jess sleeps on one with her teddy as here too it's getting cold. Told my vet and she approved, Jess seems to love it too she goes right to sleep snuggled next to teddy's head. its very cute.

I dont see why not! As long as it's closed tight, then put a towel in between it and your BD

Some people use socks with rice, then put them in the microwave..you could try that too.

I think I'd be more prone to try the rice in a sock idea over a hot water bottle. The potential problem with a water bottle, is that after it cools down, it the water seems to absorb heat from you, which is the opposite of what you're going for. It may not be a problem though if the water bottle is wrapped in a towel or something similar. It's been a long time since I used one personally. On the other hand, once heated rice cools down, it doesn't have the same effect.

Is it possible for you to get a Ceramic Heat Emitter? They add heat but not light from above them.
