My new BP cage in the works!

Seal the board, with either hot glue or silicone, but don't glue it down. Simple. :D

That's what I'm doing with the cages I'm building right now. As for fire hazard, the ventilation holes in the wood, and a good thermostat, help prevent that. At any rate, only an actual spark would set the wood on fire as it would take a lot of just heat to do it...more than a UTH is capable of putting out.

At home depot now, gettng some dimmers and cages for the lights. I think I'll leave the floor unglued incase I have issues with the bulbs.

Nice cages!!

Bah, I'm so torn now. I have the supplies to do either really.

I guess question two would be, could I put the UTH on the back wall (back left side) and vent out the rear? I planned on stacking the cages on top of each other, so lower vents wouldn't vent.
Too many options.

Lower vents would vent...if you added short legs like I am. :D

My cages will be stacking as well. Each one will have 6" legs and the legs will fit into PVC sleeves on the tops of each cage. :)

I admit...I never understood the idea behind people putting vents at the top of a cage they want to keep heat in.

I don't think anyone in this thread has suggested upper vents.

Good looking cage. You could use a radiant heat panel instead of of a lamp or under tank heater.

Granted, a Radiant Heat Panel would work as well. I keep forgetting about them cause they're too expensive for me. :)

Post some pics everyone! The designs sound great.. I'm just dying to see the final products! :taz:
