>> I've seen lots of acrylic green tree python cages heated with heat panels that didn't warp.

Radiant heat panels are a good choice with acrylic cages since they don't get much hotter than the desired/required basking temperature directly below them. And as I'm sure you know, the backside of RHP's are basically room temperature due to the strong radiant barriers used.

The original poster mentioned some sort of heat lamp combo which won't work this way - the temperature surrounding the lamp could be 100* greater or more than the desired basking temp. of 105*.

The original poster might look into a RHP for this cage although I don't think they are the best choice when a 105* temp. is needed. A call to Bob at Pro Products might be in order.
