Planning a reptile room; what do I need?
Hey all, as the thread title says, I'm moving out and have a room just for the reptiles. What do I need to get it set up in the best way for them? Mainly for maintaining a steady room temperature, I think some room heaters are better than others but I'm not sure which to go with [it's not a very big room, I'll get measurements if needed]. Also, the room will be closed most of the time to better regulate the temps/keep the cat out, lol, is there anything recommended for keeping the air clean/circulated? I've heard some air purifiers are not safe to be around smaller animals.
I have PVC enclosures from Powerhouse Displays; one 4x2x1 horizontal for my Leopard Geckos, and a 3x2x2 for my Carpet Python [not sure how this is supposed to be oriented but I think vertical is best?]; the leos will have undertank heat tape and the carpet python will have both UTHT and a radiant heat panel. Everything will be connected to a herpstat. Should I add lights to the cages? Seems pretty dark inside. What is the best way to set up these enclosures? I want them to be easily accessable so they need a bit of height off the ground, but I don't have any furniture to put them on. Will brackets on the wall work, or is there a better solution?
Sorry for all the questions, thanks in advance for any help :3
