I am thinking of building a rack system and getting four or five reptile basics radiant heat panels. Going for the 40 watt version plus a ve 100 thermostat with a basic surge protector .
Right now I am thinking of using large plastic tubs and to house my ball pythons towards the top and possibly a corn snake and king snake at the bottom.
Not sure if 40 watts will be enough.
Side note:
I also plan to buy cages from PVC cages (48 by 24 by 24) for a bearded dragon and another cage but with the devider for a green tree python and a diamond python. I plan to get the 1xx radiant heat panel for the bdragon.
I know you usually can only have the same temps per thermostat, but was not sure how wattage of panel affects it all.
i am considering getting glass tanks for all mu setup since I want to be able to look at my animals, as far as I can tell, tubs don't allow for that. Exo terra glass tanks seem a bit expensive though. semi clear tubs are $25 each but worried about fires and toxic fumes.
I have been looking for other PVC cage vendors but only one had good prices once you factor in shipping and they use reptile basics too.
Thanks
