    Help me get this cage set up

    So, after having a thermostat failure in a rack system and loosing my snake., I am ready to start over and do it right.
    I have a t3 animal plastics cage that was more or less given to me. I want to have a nice display cage to enjoy my new snake. I have flexwatt for under the hot side. I think I want to put in a RHP for ambient temps on the cool
    Side. I will need to control both of these temp gradiants. My understanding is there are thermostats out there that can do both....or is there a better way?

    How does everyone else set up their display cages?
    I also want to add some sort of lighting to the cage for viewing....maybe an LED light fixture..
    Thank you for any and all help!!

    While the style cage referred to in this thread is 12” longer the same concepts still apply

    I use Pro Panels as mentioned above. That is all I use however if you want 2 heat sources thats fine too. Use a Herpstat 2 and that will control both. Now that you have seen what can happen, spend the money for a top of the line Tstat. The Herpstats last forever and they have alarms. Do not go with a cheap Herpstat Ez model.. they do not have all the features.
    A How to link above has already posted for you.

    Perfect!! I got it figured out !
    Thanks for all the great advice. Ordering Herpstat for the flexwatt. Got a HydroFarm Stat for the RHP. Can't wait to get it all in place and dialed in so I can SNAKE SHOP!
