Thanks for the clarification.

I'm gonna have to think about the flexiwatt a bit more since the holes are now at the bottom of the tank and if I cover them with plastic caps they might get in the way and overheat/melt. So might need to cut out wood discs to fill in where the UTH goes.

I think I might have found a good light setup that can use my side holes, have it vertical and covered by a jar. LINK

A lot of tinkering and planning to just get the design right without being wasteful, my wife wouldn't be too happy about me being wasteful.

After that has been nailed down then will order my flexiwatt items since I might need to do a bulk order cause I have another project slowing coming together to build a rack of maybe 4-5 maybe 6 10 gal tanks using the Front Opening Aquarium design. What I've noticed is that it actually increases the foot print from 2sq ft to about 2.4sq ft.

I know at least two will have a Rosy Boa and a Thayeri King variety. Any others that you know of that would do well in a modified 10 gal tank environment? If you have any input/insights about the Rosys and Thayeris i'd welcome it.

My son would love these set ups and cool thing it gives him an up close view and ability to study/understand these beautiful creatures. I am also having a couple of modified 10 gallons out in the garage for him to use as a part of his "catch and release" program of garter/ribbon/rat/worm snakes and keep it separate from our house pets.
