Where to mount heat panel ? Advice pls - Page 2

Arrrggg.. now I got another problem...

Dang mount points are right over a groove on the roof that is used for stacking the cages... which means if I use a screw through the plastic... the cage that goes on top will not sit right...

Anyone ever secure these things using silicone?

Ugg.. I gotta figure this out ...

Maybe position 5??? that would still offer a nice gradient from front to back..

I use liqiud nails. I can't really see much a temp difference between P1 and P4. Will a couple of inches make al tat much of a difference in the temp gradient across the tank.

Remember that most arboreals prefer the highest perch that they can find... so you NEED a horizontal gradient

The snakes I plan on putting in there are semi arboreal

Then you'll DEFINITELY want it off to one side, so that it won't require a semi-arboreal snake to climb every time that it wants heat!

You're planning on 3 diff perch heights? What kind of snake is going in there?
