Terrarium Heater?

It;s really cold in my house at night and even during the day sometimes gets down to 60 in my grow room. I have an incubator right now for the jars while they colonize, should I make something like that for the terrarium, with a lower water temperature? Does anyone have a link to a good cheap/moderate cost tek that could help me out with this? I don't want to birth the jars and then find out that my room is too cold for them to be healthy or grow or whatever cold would do to them.

Yeah man, try the TiT Tek but with a piece of plexiglass put in the top for light.
OR
The Heat Bomb Tek

He's talking about a terrarium, not an incubator.
All i can think of is using hot/warm water bottles, changing them several times a day. but I haven't had the problem with my fruit chambers, I live in a warm climate.

Hence why I said 'put some plexiglass for light'... You can make a FC using the same method to keep warmth...

I'm still rather new, so i have a question. With it being a closed FC(TiT), wouldn't he have trouble keeping FAE up?

No, just open the lid and fan a few times a day. You would treat it jsut like any other FC, it's just inside of another tub with a heater between to keep constant temps.

You can increase the temp of your terrarium by using a fish tank bubbler and a heater submerged in a container of water. The bubbler will also provide oxygen to your chamber, but make sure it's clean air. I've had very good results with this setup, cuz you can regulate the temp of the chamber and there is no need to release C02 from time to time.
