Hey Guys! I'm having trouble keeping my night time temps up in my hatchling Sully's exhibit. His enclosure is in my bedroom, so I would prefer to have something without a light. Subsequently, I'm looking at ceramic heating elements.
Current enclosure (getting a new, bigger one later this month): 20gal long (fully enclosed) with tin foil wrapping 3/4 of the sides, and the top, to keep too much of the heat/light from escaping. My day temps are low 90s, with a basking area of ~93 -I also need to get that up, I'm hoping with a higher overall temp, the basking light will be able to concentrate the heat in the basking area better, instead of loosing so much energy to heating the whole enclosure.
Anyway, if anyone has suggestions of CHE to try, please let me know, I'm at a loss!!
do I want something like this:

Or more like this:

Or something else entirely?
Thanks, all!!!
