Heating an enclosure

[TDent1]

I'll be visiting some local hardware stores today to start getting some prices and advice on what I need to build an 8x4x5 enclosure. I want to have 3 levels with ramps leading to the top and a basking lamp on the highest level. However, I'm not sure how to maintain a hot and a cold side on an enclosure this big. Anyone have any ideas?
