Bioactive Setups

I've been thinking about a bioactive setup for the Cali garter when she's larger, but how do you create a warm side? Wouldn't soil substrate spread the warmth from a heat mat too evenly? Vertical temp gradient?

Ceramic heat emitter.

Or any other overhead heater... UTH won't work with bioactive as the substrate is too deep and besides it will kill your cleanup guys

You can do the heat pad on the side thing as well. Overall just being creative on how one would accomplish this feat.
