Building an enclosure soon, heating questions...

I use RHPs in all of my cages, and I highly recommend them.

Yea any of a number of things will get the job done adequately but it's kinda like a car; a '76 gmc pickup will get you to your destination but a hummer does it a lot nicer :). A heat lamp or CHE will work but flexwatt is better and a radiant heat panel is the hummer. If you can get the coin to buy it a RHP is the way to go IMO.

I'd use a RHP too...

I use repti-bark and in the enclosure I built I have 1.5" lip along the bottom to hold it in when opened, under that I have a sheet of glass with flexwatt foil taped to the underside with 1/2" rubber feet.

I know this thread's a couple of months old, but I sure would like to hear more about this sheet of heated glass with rubber feet. Is there any danger that a snake could turn it over? What size of glass sheet did you use? Any details would be appreciated! :)
