    I think when heating a room to that temperature, you should better NOT forget a thermostat ;)

    Something should still control whatever is getting the temp up there, or in a small room the temp can quickly rise far beyond that.

    And as Redshepherd has said, the cost for running a space heater to keep up that temp can quickly add up depending where one lives. And its not without risk, either. But then again, neither is heat tape or any other method of heating.

    I still think for only a few snakes, it is far more economic to heat the rack rather then the room.

    Probably material cost. The 4-level may be do-able with one 4x8 sheet of PVC but the 5-level requires two sheets. Yes some of the second sheet would be available for another build - if he had orders in the hopper.

    Oh, that makes sense- I was thinking that might have been a possibility, thanks!
