Re: Heating a China Cabinet?

So would putting it on the side be okay, and if not what do you suggest?
Brazilian Rainbow Boas need lots of humidity. Your first step is going to be sealing the wood with something that isn't toxic so that the humidity doesn't cause the wood to rot.

The underbelly heat thing is not a requirement it's just the easiest way to do heat in most set ups. It would be easier with a picture of the cabinet to help us better recommend a course of action. You may have several options available to you. If the wood is too thick a heat pad may not be the best method after all and you may need to consider other options.
