I was unsure about whether to post this question here or on the tortoise enclosure section, but I have a feeling there may not end up being a one right answer.
When it comes to providing heat for reptiles and tortoises more specifically you basically have 4 "in tank" heat sources.
1. Your incandescent bulbs and mercury vapor bulbs.
2. Ceramic heat emitters
3. Radiant heat pannels
4. Under the tank heating in the form of a heat mat or heat tape
(This is provided that a pulse proportional thermostat is being used to control the device to the correct level if needed.)
I have seen all 4 of these used in tortoise keeping and my question is which of these methods dries out the air least? Or the most?
