RE: Heating Vision Cage?

I have a bunch of Visions. I heat them all with under tank heat pads controlled with thermostats. The heat radiates up thru the bottom of the cage.



I wouldn't use a 100 watt ceramic heat emitter. Those heat emitters get up to 600 degrees F. More than hot enough to melt any plastic cage. A snake much prefers bottom heat to overhead heat.



A 60 watt is plenty if you need over head heat.



The heat pads are a much more efficient means to heat a boa or a python.
