I have 3 boaphiles waiting for me to get heat tape and another thermostat.

I used black silicone(GE II with no mildew stuff) to cover the sides, and then used Great Stuff window sealer(blue can) to make ledges and stuff. Covered that (as its yellow) with black silicone and covered the silicone with Eco earth.
Saw it on a gecko website.

For the boa cage (my only wooden one), I cut out a hole on the bottom, covered the hole with plexiglass, and attached the heat pad/flexwatt to the outside of the plexiglass. That way my heat tape doesn't have to be set so high as it just heats through the plexiglass and Lino.
I used silicone to seal the inside as well.

Hobby- Is your house an aquarium store? ;)
Great displays thus far, cannot wait to get my pvc cages next year and make my snakes' enclosures "pretty". :D
