I'm giving ampullaria and bicalcarata a go.
I'm aware of how big these plants go - I hope they do get that big and I have that particular problem (cuttings anyone?)
Anyway, the one thing I want to really make sure I do right is keep the temperature at a steady 85 or so. I live in Nebraska where the temperatures are freezing in the winter, so the house temperature is usually around 65-70. I know that's too cold for them. So I'm looking for alternatives. Would getting a heating pad (like you would use for a snake) under the terrarium be a good idea? Has anyone had any experience in artificially warming the terrarium? A heat rock (probably too localized)?
Thanks.
