I got my AP cage and put it together on Saturday. I followed directions and then added the sealant silicone that came with it to the corners. The instructions on the sealant said it would take 2-6 days to completely dry. So I will not put him in until Saturday, just to be safe.

I got a radiant heat panel installed. I remember reading something somewhere about not using the on/off thermostats, but using a dimmer thermostat, instead. I plan to get a dimmer, but I don't have one yet. Can I use my on/off thermostat until I purchase the dimmer, or is there something wrong with doing that?

I got flexwatt belly heat too. Nothing in the instructions said anything about making sure that the cage was elevated. It's probably not safe to leave the flexwatt sandwiched between the wooden table and the cage, right? Should I at least put rubber pads to lift it a little? In that same vein, do I even need to use the flexwatt if I have the RHP? I know snakes digest from warmth on their belly, but others have said both are not necessary. I would rather not use it if I don't need it.

Lastly, does anyone have any feeding techniques (frozen) for a front door cage? I only have experience with the fish tank top feeder. I'm nervous it will be easier for him to get out while I'm trying to feed him, now.

I am excited that he is moving to his new enclosure, but I just have so many questions about it!
