troubled, help with my AP T8 please

[Blitzjg]

So I have a T8, I'm waiting on my BP to arrive but I didnt realize how deep the unit is. Its 2 feet deep. Having just moved i didnt have much furniture and didnt put the T8 together until last week.
I bought two storage/bookshelves from ikea and figured they would both work well for keeping my two snake cages on. Problem is they are only 16 inches deep. Which works fine for my corn's cage but obviously not the T8.

So im hopinh for suggestions for something to stand the T8 on, preferrably relatively inexpensive options.

Im also wondering how much space on the 2 sides and back i need to leave to allow proper ventilation through the vents

Hi, i bought these stands from ikea for about $50 bucks each. Not sure if they are still available but they worked out great for me.

Any chance you have their item # or brand?

Its the Lack TV unit #201.053.41

The T8 hangs out a bit in the back but it's no big deal.

When I had my T8s, I stacked them one on top of the other on this - Coaster Peel Black Computer Desk with Keyboard Tray. It matches them perfectly ( in both fit and color) and gets them off the floor, allowing for storage underneath and on the keyboard tray. I allowed for just a couple of inches behind them, as it was pushed up against a wall.

Hmm. Great suggestions. I got flexwatt from AP though and it hangs out the back just enough for the heat clips. but with a couple extra inches it droops down and im not sure how to keep it fastened to the cage bottom without a platform there

I taped the edges of the heat tape to the bottom using foil tape.

AP sells stands. I have two t8s stacked on the stand.

This probably goes against most people's ideas of proper decor, but I like cinderblocks and plywood for stands and shelving.
You can drape the stand over with a fabric skirt if those materials seem too tacky.

I only had the foil tape they sent, which was two strips that I put on the 2 longer sides, did you tape it more than that?
