Building a Cage on a Chair

thekidgecko Oct 24, 2004 09:04 PM

Ok, here's the deal. This year I am in advanced art class and we do a thing called the "Chair Affair" where we auction off chairs for charities. Of course I will buy mine. My plan is to put an acrylic Chondro cage built under the back of the seat. How should I heat/light it? I can wire it but I'm not sure what heat or what kinds of lights I should use. Any suggestions?(BTW I will post pics here when done!)

being aboreal snakes i do not think heat tape or matt would be such a good rout. in this case i would use a radient heat pannel or overhead lighting/ceramic emitters. just make sure if you use lights that the snake is protected from coming in contact. you could either use bulb guards or if i am understanding your idea right tehre will be some covered area and you could do a false celing.
good luck
