I am planning a home-made cage, and was playing with the idea of using heat tiles to heat them. It will be a stack of cages actually. 4'x2'x18" a stack of 5 or 6 cages. Would a heat tile in each be enough, or would I be better off going with wide heat tape? It will be made of a good grade plywood, and the interior of each cage will be lines with the bathroom paneling that is basically coated to look like tiles so that it is waterproof. This is the best solution I could find as far as durability and ease of use. All corners will be sealed with a high quality of silicone sealant to prevent moisture from getting under paneling. Any thoughts of what I may be missing in addition to the heat question? I am totally open to Ideas... Thanks
