These are great ideas! The solid walls do keep the heat in better.

Here is a mini tractor I made for in the house.. I just lift it up and slide out the tub to clean.. also the wire allows to just set the light on it so only part of it is heated. I put the light on a dimmer so I can turn it down and wean them off the light. Works better for me cause I need to get them outside asap. When they can venture away from the heat, they get "hardened off" faster I think, and don't get so dependent on the light.

PVC pipe is cheap... this was relatively easy to make..
