I would agree with Dave on the cages, I use 2’ X 3’ (floor space) boaphiles. I am using under belly heat but I think that the radiant heat panels are probable better. I prefer the RANCO thermostats that allow for a 6-outlet power strip. I stack the boaphiles six high and use one thermostat per stack. Jeff sells the RANCO thermostats through his website (boaphileplastics.com) however I just wire my own to save a few dollars. I have a stack of 2’ X 4’ that I will put 1.2 BRBs for breeding.

I do use a rack system for babies through sub adults simply because they don’t need that much space and it is easier to clean out.
