Hi all,
I'm modifying my terrarium to enclose more snakes by dividing the one big section into 3. I am also starting plans on other enclosures for future snakes.
My biggest question is, what kind of heat source is safe to use in a wood enclosure? If all but the front doors are made out of wood, can heat pads be used safely? I've heard of heat tape and looked up on that as possibilities as well but it would be more complicated for me to set up. I would have to bring my pa to wire it up for me with a thermostat (he's an electrician) but that would take forever, really!
I'm not a fan of heat lamps since they have to be boxed in properly to avoid burns to the snakes and in my tastes aren't the most esthetical way of providing heat.
So what would be my options? And how to set it up to provide enough heat for my snakes and be safe?
Thank you
Pixie
