Hey... looking into constructing a unit for multiple snakes so I can have them all in my room in one space instead of tanks on dressers all over the house we are going to create a shelf-like unit to house them on top of each other. Similar to the plastic drawer systems you see, but i like to be able to see my babies crawling around even when they are not out being held, which is why I'm not sticking them in drawers. Anyway... I'm thinking either plexi or glass fronts, sliding or latch with hinge open access. My 'issue ' is i have been looking into the most practical heating method and was told heat tape was good to use. However i'd need to probably make plexi or glass bottoms for this to work. Or have small sections along the side wall cut out and plexi or glass inserted there to then tape the heat tape onto. I'm wary about the tape because never used it before. Have always used lamps and heat pads. Does anyone have ideas on uncomplicated ways to construct such a unit and what the best way to heat it would be? Thanks so much. Also the snakes are 1 corn and 2 ball pythons. My carpet python will be housed in a seperate custom unit because of the height requirement.
