Re: Heating
nah... with a hot spot at 91 degrees the plastic will be fine... I forget what the plastic will melt at, but I know it's over 100, lol... Just MAKE SURE you get the temps right before you put the snake in! those things get HOT!

Re: Heating
What kind of snake and how big is it? If you have the one snake, there is plenty of ideas on RTB on how to make a nice roomy cage. Then you could use a radiant panel.

Re: Heating
He is a yearling rtb. Right now we are getting ready to move and when we get into the new place I want to build him a 6x2x2 on a stand with a drop front which I can lock
