I'm currently using a standard lightbulb during the day and flexwatt during the night for heating (attached to thermostat) and since the spring this set up has worked perfectly. With winter setting in the flexwatt at night is no longer doing the job for good night time temps.



The cage is a Barrs 12x12x16 with a vent at the top - I like using the light during the day (to show off the snake)- but obviously can't use it at night. Not sure if they make heat panels that will fit in such a small cage - but if they do, then I will loose the light during the day. Also he's fairly obsessive compulsive about perching as high up as he can get - so I need to make sure that it's not too hot on him either.



Any suggestions?



Thanks!
