my son... is working out a radiator system within his terrarium to keep his grasshoppers warm as the temperture drops outside... the first idea that worked was to bring water to a brisk boil, pour it into a glass jar, place the jar into the terrarium and cover the entire "cage" with canvas to insulate the grasshoppers from the cooler air circulating outside...
but, as he reminds, this is not a permanent solution in that the boiled water soon cools and no longer radiates heat to the grasshoppers...
we are debating whether hanging a lightbulb down into the terrarium will provide enough heat for the bugs...
