Hi. Looking for some advice. Picked up 3 36 inch NPI stackable cages from a reptile show. My question is how do I go about heating all three cages?
thanks

I'm not familiar with the stackable NPI cages but normally you have space in between to tape some heat tape underneath each cage.
What I would do is install heat tape underneath each cage (making sure the probe for the thermostat is on there properly as well) and then setting down the cage on a piece of styrofoam (or other insulating foam 1/2 or 3/4 inch thick). Do that for each cage.
If you use a appropriate size of heat tape and your room doesn't dip below 75/77 degrees, that should be appropriate. If you install the lights, it may give off a bit of heat as well.
Monitor all temps until you have everything just right!
