Great news!!

For heating a wooden enclosure, I have some I made for my BRB's (lower heat requirement) and tried a few methods of heating. Methods I know of for heating to Boa temps:

Heat tape - under floor of cage. Best installation would be to cut away floor around heat tape and install thin subfloor. Heat tape wpon't work well through the full thickness of cage floor.

Ceramic heat element - Installed on ceiling pointed down WITH bulb guard. Works well for warming entire cage and providing basking spot.

Radient Heat Panel - IMO best solution, also most expensive as well. The RHP does not get overly hot and provides gentle heat.
