So we just got a new AP cage for our boa. We're new to them as we're used to a pre-built rack system for our BPs. When it was ordered, we got the basics and didn't order the stand. Now I have to figure out what we can set it on since we're using the heat tape for belly heat for him. I don't want to catch anything under it on fire. I've already been through a total loss house fire (thankfully before the reptiles came along) and obviously don't want to repeat that by making a mistake. All the heating in general gives me anxiety, so I'm always fastidiously checking it to make sure it's in working order.

Are we better off just building our own stand or are there other, safe solutions out there?
