I have a question about black melamime. I plan on using it to build cages for my light colored colubrids (snow corn, and 2 albino black rats) so that it brings out their colors better. The cages will be (corn) 48"x12"X12" and (black rats) 48"x12"x24" (LxDxH) My question is, will the fact that it is black absorb too much heat making it hard to make a decent gradient? And will the warm side get too warm with a 15w bulb?
