This works great!

Take a look at reptile heat rope it provides even, safe heat. It works great for a fermentation chamber.

I have one of these and taped it to the lid with some electical tape. I have it hooked up to one of these dual temp regulators and it works great.

EDIT: Sorry, actually I have the 50w version - here's the link to that length

Maybe? They make bigger ones http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Reptile-Cable-Watts/dp/B0002DIWMS/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0X97JFSD5FBXSE8RD0XS

The first review I read: "I use this heater cord inside a refrigerator that I stripped out to make a fermentation chamber for homebrewed beer. I use a STC-1000 aquarium temperature controller to control the cool side of temperature and then I use this reptile heater cord to warm things up if the temperature gets too low overnight or in winter. I am controlling temperatures somewhere between high 40s to low 50s for lager and low 60s to low 80s for ales. This is a good price for the heater side of things and works very well at holding temperatures precisely."

Another one said it worked for a 4.4 cu ft fridge.

I just put mine together this weekend.

• I picked up this 7.1 cu ft chest freezer that is on sale at Lowe's. Combined it with a 10% coupon I found on eBay for $1.
  
  
• Plugged it into the cooling outlet of an Inkbird ITC-308
  
  
• Threw in this dehumidifier
  
  
• Then laid down and taped a reptile terrarium heating cable. And plugged it into the Heating outlet of the Inkbird controller. There are other options for heating, but I found this locally at a really good price.
  
  Around $220 for everything, but you can fit two 6 gallon carboys and two 3 gallon carboys or a few 1 gallon jugs on the hump.

I also use a chest freezer + stc-100, but with a [heat cable] (http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Reptile-Cable-Watts/dp/B0002DIWMS)

I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Reptile-Cable-Watts/dp/B0002DIWMS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1422038811&sr=8-4&keywords=reptile+heater+cable wrapped around the inside of my chest freezer. It could easily hit 100F in my 7 cf freezer. If you want higher temps, go for more wattage. Your fridge/freezer will be fine.

I believe this is the one I use, but it would need to be put on a thermostat to make sure it doesn't overheat. I have mine under the "warm" side of the tank with a hide over it so they can feel secure and warm their bellies. I use paper towels on top. Then then cool side is where I have the humid hide for shedding assistance :)

Aw, poor baby! She is very lucky to have a caring home! Unfortunately not all PetSmarts are created equal and it sounds like you guys had a run in with a bad one :( I'm very glad they gave her to you so you could get her back on her little feet! I have a few Cresties that used to love love love crickets and now turn their noses up at them, so sometimes their tastes do change as they age. Have you tried Dubia or Black Soldier Fly Larve ("Calciworms")?

2. These work awesome. I currently use one (a longer version due to the size of my chamber) and I have zero complaints. Heats the chamber up pretty quickly and doesn't feel like a fire hazard like some of the options do.
