I have all of the electrical cords bundled and tied up with those plastic zip ties that you can't get loose again, and everything is very neat and tidy. No cords touching the ground whatsoever. If there are any transformers that do get hot, that is the only thing that I will have on the floor and I keep it in an empty metal coffee can so it's not directly contacting any possible combustible material.

I also have all of my heat tape and some lights on dimmers, as well as everything plugged into surge protectors.

I keep all of my animals in the same building, and since I also keep birds (the parakeets are the messiest), the parakeets are near the gas heater, and I make sure it stays absolutely clean around it. No feathers at all. I also make sure that ghost turds/dust bunnies don't build up around the electrical outlets or cords.
