I used to use lights exclusively, but found that I couldn't really completely win the battle against the dehydration that comes with it.
About the glass, I don't think you're going to kill anything if you're pretty vigilant about the temps. Glass is a really good conductor (but so is plastic). If you get a runaway heat element, that glass'll get really hot.
I used to use these cages and heat them with lights. Now, I use boaphiles and use the undercage heaters that you can get installed on them. With Helix DBS-1000s, I can still get the diurnal temp cycles that I've used for a while.
There are a loot of ways to do things and a lot of them are good. You have options and can work in your personal preferences as well.
Good luck!
Aaron
