>The inside plan you have will work.. I would suggest using lexan or plexiglass though. You can use the flexwatt under the cage as well. It will depend on the thickness of the wood on how efficent it will be. Also in either application you need to use a thermostat...Hope this helps,

I was thinking yesterday that I might put spacers (say, 3/4" around the edges of the cage, and in the center on either side of the flexwatt, and then cover it with glass or expanded pvc (if I can find it), so there would be airspace above the flexwatt. I was told by the man at Home Depot that plexiglass would melt if I used it as a flooring over the flexwatt, is that not true?



What is lexan? I have never heard or read of that before.



I have a dimmer switch set up as use for a thermostat until I find one I really like.



The MDF is 3/4" thick, and I am afraid that the hot spot temps wouldn't get high enough through the MDF. Thank you very much though, I appreciate the help!
