Recently my father was given an old display tank a gentleman had converted into a snake tank. The tank is six feet long (give or take a few inches) and roughly two feet wide. It is welded on a metal frame with lags of the same. The floor of the tank had been a sheet of plywood and has rotted. Under the floor of the tank are two drawers that are part of the tanks base.

My dad has removed the rotted wood and cleaned the tank up for the most part but now we are wondering how to do heating for the bottom of the tank. The tank is going to be home to two adult ball pythons. They won't be given access to one another, there will be a divider set in the middle so they will each have their own three foot two enclosure. The problem we are having is figuring how to do the necessary under-tank heating. Before anyone suggests using lamps and bulbs, we had that set up for the one ball python for a while and he was unhappy with this arrangement to say the least. So how would someone propose we heat this tank?

Please let me know your thoughts and have a good new year. Please and thank you.
