Can't get any posts on the heating subforum so I'll try here:

I just purchased a used cage made by Cages By Design for either my California King or a Jungle Carpet Python. It's 60" high so I'm leaning towards putting the juvenile python in it with lots of stuff for climbing. I have a radiant heat panel I can mount on the top but with a cage with so much height, shouldn't I also provide some "belly heat" from below? The folks at Cages By Design said they don't recommend using a UTH under the laminate bottom. Don't know if it damages the laminate or if not enough heat gets through. Anyone with any experience in this area? What about putting the UTH on an appropriate size sheet of glass and laying this assembly on top of some type of insulating material in the cage on top of the laminate bottom panel? Any and all recommendations are appreciated!!
