Ok, the Cobra mat looks like it will work for me. However, I noticed it says it is constantly at 100 degrees. Isn't this a bit much for heating up the "cool" end of the cage? Also, it's not a glass cage (melamine), so I wanna make sure it won't cause an issue with that. And lastly, there's about an inch of potting soil on the surface, which remains moist for a week or so. I want to make sure there won't be any sort of electrical problems as a result of this, or any electrical problems if water happens to spill over there.



If all this is acceptable, then yes, I'll definately look into getting one of these. I'd likely need the 50-60 gallon version for the size cage I have.
