with flexwatt, how do I heat this: http://img6.photobucket.com/albums/v16/ChristinaM/enclosures%20and%20decor/geckohome.jpg

It will be used for a hogg isle boa. So there's gotta be a way that I can heat it safely, without worrying about being electrocuted if the water bowl spills, etc.

Thanks

1/2" wood ( plywood type )

I have an UTH under my cages made of 5/8" plywood and more than enough heat gets through as I need them on a dimmer.

Heat tape, if it's set up to a reliable rheostat, the heat will easily make it through 1/2" plywood.
