For my monitors I use two mercury vapor bulbs for the basking site. A radiant heat panel for night time temperatures. And since mine are black rough neck and require high humidity, I heat the water to their min temperature to maintain ambient temperatures. For a dryer species I would use a modified fan blown ceramic heater. I generally take the 500w small portable heaters meant for people and remove the electronic part, which consist of the 12v power source and any buttons, and move that to an electrical box outside of the cage so that the part in the cage is only the fan, the heating element and the ceramic enclosure. Less likely to short out from humidity that way. I also add a limit switch so if the heater is removed from its mounting it will turn off. I also remove the over heat sensor. It trips forcing you to manually turn it back on and it’s unnecessary when you remove the electronics from the housing. If it over heats the worse thing it could do is burn off the wire that give it power. I add a separate temperature controller that is outside the cage with a probe going in. For example
heater
temp controller
limit switch

Time for transfers. Get a cooler, this heater, and this controller .

Its a perfect incubator, set it at 78F. The first agar plate from spore takes about a week or 2 to look like that, but when you transfer you will get faster growth. Ill get a plate to fill out in a few days.
