This is continuing my post on cage construction below (http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1408728,1408728). I have the tank and 12 cu ft of decomposed granite. Due to its weight, I plan on mixing it with top soil and sand to get to 48 sq ft and fill the 8x3x2 tank. I need to start thinking about lighting and heat. Looking at the Pro Exotics pictures, for the big tanks it looks like they have banks of 3 halogens on both sides of the tank. My house gets pretty cold at night so what should I use for heating? I think I saw a pic of a steel tank with a heat pad on it. Is that a good idea or will CHE's or heat bulbs in the bank of lights be better that are left on a night routine.
