....for big constrictors are Pro Product Radiant Heat Panels. I've been using them at my facility for many years and love them. They provide an excellent thermal gradiant and for big snakes, they are fantastic as they provide a large, evenly distributed basking area. They are easily mounted to the inside ceiling of the cage and they never become overly hot to the touch. You ought to consider this option.

>>Hi HH,

>>

>>I was going to reply to the thread in the cage design section, but thought you might see it here first.

>>What kind of overhead heat are you going to use for your enclosure? I am looking to build a few cages and was going to try heat tape with a thermostat, but am open to other substitutes. Is overhead heating just heat lamps?

>>

>>I was planning on using the cabinet plymood or melamine and then putting heat tape down and maybe finding some plastic material or laminate to go over the heat tape, possibly even a piece of plexiglass or something (might make cleaning easier).

>>

>>Thoughts? Suggestions? I love the cage you made man...
