Hey – Logic doesn’t have much to do with it. Somebody produced the cage that way. Maybe he lived in southern California where it doesn’t get bitterly cold, didn’t have much experience with large pythons and didn’t exactly think it through before he designed the mold. So we either deal with it, buy a different manufacturer’s product, or build our own cages.



You put your heat panel on the left hand side of the cage. If YOU want light (after all, your retic would prefer the security of darkness), stick a small fluorescent fixture or low wattage incandescent in that light shroud. If you insist on all the heat emanating from the right hand side of the cage, then I’d suggest you go with UTH’s, perhaps a product like the Kane heat mat. Good luck.

>>It just seems logical that the heated end of the cage should be the end that is also lighted (wouldn't that just make sense to the snake too...?).
