I am about to construct a new home for my ball python. I am going with 3/4" plywood and not about to stick an under-tank heater on it.

Is there any kind of safe heat pad that can be placed directly inside the enclosure? It will be covered with substrate, of course. Thank you.

you might want to look into radiant heat panels. i got got one for one of my boas and i like it so muck better then uth and tape. the panel warm the whole snake not just the belly.

Thanks! Where can I purchase one?

look on line at reptile supplier sites. the panel is attached to the roof of the cage and emitts heat down kinda like the sun. i got mine when i had my cage built. most supplier have them they are a little more expensive but to me well worth the cost.
