11 x 17 inch heat wave pads

The flat are on the ceiling looks plenty big enough for the radiant heaters.

I like bottom heat. It seems more energy efficient.

Pretty cool cage for the money.

you heat the entire cage with one 11x17 heat pad? jason

I let the other side vary with room temp so that the boa can thermoregulate.

One 11 x 17 is plenty of heat for a 4 foot boa cage.

Best to use a thermostat of some sort to keep from overheating.
