Does anyone around Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, ect have any tips for dealing with below 0 weather? My house gets extremely chilly in the winter and im worried about my tank shattering from the extreme heat difference of the inside to outside of it :!: :!:

I haven't run into any issues like that in the winter. Some nights get quite cold and the house will drop into the 50s so I have a ceramic heat emitter over the tank hooked up to a thermostat so it will kick in and keep the tank between about 70-73 overnight as needed. The difference in temperature under the basking light/inside the tank vs outside doesn't cause a problem with the tank itself.

Thank you, do you have a reccomendation for the brand of ceramic heater? All the reviews on Amazon have less than 4 stars saying it doesnt do anything i dont want to worry about her freezing mid winter cause it gives out

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
