I am building an enclosure for my snakes and I need a way to heat it. I have been thinking about using a tile cut to size with a heat pad or heat tape mounted to the bottom of it. If needed I will hook this up to a thermostat/rheostat to control the temp. Does this sound like it will work? The rest of the bottom of the tank will probably be wood unless I tile that too, which I feel may make for easier cleanup and less work with staining. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

guess i should've checked out the post right below first. Nevermind unless you have something else to add.
