Help me get this cage set up

So, after having a thermostat failure in a rack system and loosing my snake., I am ready to start over and do it right.
I have a t3 animal plastics cage that was more or less given to me. I want to have a nice display cage to enjoy my new snake. I have flexwatt for under the hot side. I think I want to put in a RHP for ambient temps on the cool
Side. I will need to control both of these temp gradiants. My understanding is there are thermostats out there that can do both....or is there a better way?

How does everyone else set up their display cages?
I also want to add some sort of lighting to the cage for viewing....maybe an LED light fixture..
Thank you for any and all help!!

I use pro heat in my T8s

Good luck!

While the style cage referred to in this thread is 12” longer the same concepts still apply

I use Pro Panels as mentioned above. That is all I use however if you want 2 heat sources thats fine too. Use a Herpstat 2 and that will control both. Now that you have seen what can happen, spend the money for a top of the line Tstat. The Herpstats last forever and they have alarms. Do not go with a cheap Herpstat Ez model.. they do not have all the features.
A How to link above has already posted for you.

Perfect!! I got it figured out !
Thanks for all the great advice. Ordering Herpstat for the flexwatt. Got a HydroFarm Stat for the RHP. Can't wait to get it all in place and dialed in so I can SNAKE SHOP!
