well I decided to give them my walk in closet.....if you have multiple snakes & you feel your collection is only going to get larger I suggest you just give a room or a big closet to them.. this way you only need a heater & a little table fan for circulation. I bought a 50 dollar honeywell heater & it takes care of the room without a problem, them grab either heat pad or flexwatt heat tape & have it hooked up to a rheostat to control the heat for the hot spot.

Another option is slightly modifying your tank and using a lamp. Leaving a border of an inch or two, cut out the plastic lid of your sterilite, and either tape/glue/otherwise fasten some heavy screen in its place. That way you have a place to sit your lamp without melting the lid, sufficient airflow, and still a sufficient area of plastic lid to easily keep the humidity at the proper level.
