Plexi-glass lid?

I used reptilebasics.com to buy my flexwatt (heat tape). they can cut it for you and hook up the connectors for free so its ready to be plugged in out of the box.

If you have more than 1 tank that needs heating it works well, if you only have 1 I might use the UTH WITH the thermostat...
For the most part the tape is just set in between cages and up the side to the next. I do have the foil tape if I need to secure it.
Thanks for noticing my lights! It doesn't look great close up, but when you stand back and see the whole set up it looks Great!

I just have one cage I'll be doing this to, so A UTH might be easier for me to pick up.

What type of bedding is that?

It is carefresh. It's the white kind because I can't stand the smell of the reular grey stuff. I like how the colored stuff looks, but my snakes don't need all the dye =)
I highly reccommend that you get a t-stat even for 1 UTH, better safe than sorry (See burn posts).

Corvid...
Kudos for thinking outside the box with that set up. Seriously.. that's really awesome, and I'm going to spend this evening marveling at it.

Do they all cost around $40 like balls and boas? Or can i just get a cheap power-gauge from ace?

This is how I have my tank covered. I have two pieces of 1/4 inch plexi-glass on the top with a small amount of holes in the top. I like it becuase I have a larger tank and it helps keep my humidity in.

[edit]I only read the OP. Sorry! looks like the subject changed a little here on page two haha
