Thanks Charlie and all who've responded. I have plenty of space available and capital to invest. I'm most concerned about the health and safety of my collection than anything. I've heard to many stories of do it yourself set ups causing fires or animals getting burned from thermostats staying on, etc. I thought there maybe some latest and greatest easy to maintain set up out 4 out of 5 breeders may recommend but it seems everyone has different needs.
The reason why I went with back heat for my smaller racks was I thought the thermal gradient would be better from front to back of the bins vs. a heat source smack in the middle with nowhere to go except the perimeter of the enclosure. I do think I'll go with something taller than I'm used to since these guys do like to climb. I guess there's no silver bullet everyone's using lol.
