>>These enclosures will be longer tho I intend to use bigger heat pads. Do you think thats to much cool area?



I'm hardly an expert on Cal Kings. I've kept them but have more experience with Florida Kings, which I did keep warmer.



If that is too much cool area you can always set clay pot hides over the warm area and crank the heat a bit. This will do wonders to disperse the heat to the cool end without the hot spot changing much.



You can also put the heat pad between a layer of Reflectix insulation and a layer of PVCX. The cage will sit on top of the PVCX. Both should be about the same size as the cage floor. You can even make the Reflectix a bit wider and wrap it up the sides a bit.



The heat pad will probably have to run a bit hotter but you won't have to worry about the hot spot getting so hot and the heat will be dispersed. But I'd try the clay pot hide idea first.



Just play around, you can get it to work.
