Sometimes one just has to sleep on an idea for it to bear fruit so I've decided to heat my room with Econo-Heat panels as suggested by Foxticity and have supplemental heated spots in each cage in lieu of trying to heat each individual cage.
That being resolved and not wanting to create a new post I'll be moving off on a very slight tangent of how to actually go about creating these heat/basking spots in said cages? Except for the glass Exo Terra cages I'm using for my geckos I intend using stackable plastic or melamine cages for ball pythons. As neither plastic or melamine are heat conducters this poses the problem that I cannot use under tank heaters and from what I've researched using any heat rocks/pads inside the cage, even with a thermostat placed right against it, is a big taboo. Ceramic bulbs and basking lamps are also a problem inside the cage due to burn possibilities and with the cages being stacked I can't put them on the outside... Any recommendations?
