I will be getting a nice pair of Java green muticus muticus in about a month, and I am almost finished building their enclosure. I live in Wisconsin were it can get way below freezing in the winter, nights have gotten to -20. My shed will be fully insulated and heated, and that is where my question lies. What type of heater would be suggested? I will be using a heated perch, but that will not be enough to to warm the whole shed (it is 10'x12'x8' walls). I thought about one of those oil radiators, but I am not sure if something better is out there. I am buying one of those outlets that turn on when the temp drops to 35 degrees and off at 45 degrees. Thanks!

I don't know if it would help with Wisconsin but a person here in Idaho were we rarely hit -10 at night usually remain between 0 and 10 she uses heat lamps that are close to the ground.
