    I think it would crack your glass. If the entire pane of glass can reach a temp it adjusts well. But with such a big tank, I would just call grandma, friends, neighbors and borrow heating pads, the human kind. On low it's 87 degrees.

    You're going to spend over 250$? on reptile heat mats.
    I would try human heat pads. That tank is sooooo huge...

    grandma lives in Washington lol...i can buy a heating blanket but not sure how heavy they are? if its too heavy it wont stay i think, because on top of the tank is a 6 foot long light, so i would have to keep the blanket away from the light or we will all burn
    the undertank pad i have is 24 watts, i can stick that to the side near their cork bark, but i dont know how smart they are, if they would use it or not
    ugh i hate this weather! its nice out for us but not for the froggys

    The real question should be - what kind of tree frogs are they?

    66 degrees at night isn't cold for any tree frog, even tropical ones during winter months in the tropics.

    If they are a tropical species I'd suggest a small heat pad (sold at any petstore) that sticks to the side of the tank, then cover part of the screen top with a towel or blanket during the colder months. If the tree-frogs hang around the heat pad source, cover more of the top to trap more heat until you notice them moving about the tank again.

    A small space heater set up in the basement with the frogs might be another good source of heat. That's assuming it's a smaller room, or one with a low ceiling.

    I went through my basement to see what i had, and i had a space heater, so i have that going about 2 feet from the tank...hopefully this will raise the temp a little bit more
