I have a set of stacked cages.
Each Cage is
Length = 85cm
Width = 34cm
Height = 36cm
The cage is built with 12mm plywood and has 2 doors at the back.
For convenience sake I use newspaper as a substrate.
I plan to use a heat mat in each cage, but obviously the heat mat can not be under the newspaper. My idea is to put the heat mat on the plywood and then put a piece of Hardboard the size of 40cm x 34cm on top of the heat pad in each of the 5 cages. The Thermostat (which I still have to purchase) wires will then come between the hardboard and the Heat mat.
Will this be ok or does anybody have a better suggestion with regards to a heat source.
I currently have 1 x Corn (length = 151cm, Weight = 890g)
I intend to still get 1 x Mexican King, 1 x Ball Python soon after the cages have been rigged up properly.
