    great job, so your just heating with the flex watt what's the rooms temp? I'm building a rack for my bloods, but since they will be in bedroom I cant keep the rooms temp at 80, one suggestion you can edge bend melamine with an iron and plastic bending tape sold at any home depot, there's white and wood grain.

    im gonna get the white plastic to cover the front cuts eventually.

    If you look in the pictures i use a kenwood oil fileld radiator. and the thermometer you see on the shelf the top number is my room temp and bottom is the temp inside the tubs.

    my snake room is also my computer room. im sooo used to the hi temperature so it dont bother me at all.

    its all up to you on how to heat the room.

    Re: Rack Done
    Those smaller ones your using on the top could possibly be put beside the more narrow ones near the bottom.

    Re: Rack Done
    they could be but the oneso n top are already set with flexwatt. the other shelves dont have heat on the open spaces.
