Ok, please bear with me, I'm a noob to Ball Pythons but I figure the best way to learn is to read and ask questions so hear I go.
I'm going to be building a cage just like blueapplepaste made for under $100 Here's a pic, I hope he doesn't mind:
The main question I have is heating. I have been reading so many threads on heating it's getting confusing.
So, what would be the best way of heating these cages? What I was thinking was Putting down a 2 foot section of flexwatt in each cage and then putting Tiles down over the top of it. And siliconing the whole thing into place. But someone said it would be just like a heat rock. Is this true? Wouldn't the thermostat keep it from getting too hot? I thought the problem with a heat rock was that it runs at full heat because there is no thermostat so it gets to hot and causes burns?
There are some things about the cage I'm going to change like the back to keep in humidity and such but the main problem I'm having right now is the heat. Is there someone out there who can help out?
