    That would be difficult to heat.. what do you plan on keeping in it? You could look into radiant heat paneling. Pro products makes a decent heat panel which can safety be mounted inside the enclosure. http://www.pro-products.com/

    other than that - the only other option would be heat lamps and I am big against them.

    I don't see UTH's, heat tape or cable working well through the wood... Again it depends on what you wan't to keep in it.

    Cheers.

    Luckily, I don't even really have to do that. Cresties like it at about room temps. Easy little guys

    lol, I seen it an thought "I don't know what i'm putting in that, but for 25 bucks...i'll find something"

    and crested are great man, cool little creatures, easy to care for, and quite friendly. Tons of color variations. I love the fact too that they're (and I forget what the word exactly is) but there genetics aren't 100 percent passable. If you have two similar crested you'll get some babies that look like the parents...but you can also get babies that look absolutely nothing like the parents at all...it's kind of random, their genetics.

    If you plan on keeping crested geckos in it they do not require extra heat and do better when maintained in the 70's

    If you want to keep a snake in it and you would be limited to arboreal species the best would be a radiant heat panel.
