I’ve got a male purple albino tiger retic that I have been keeping temporarily in a tub in the rack with my adult male ball pythons (he was hatched late September 2018) The plan was to put him in a 50 gallon tank for a while and then move him to an animal plastic 4’X2’X2. But I’m thinking why not just move him directly into the AP cage. My concern is, since he’s pretty small compared to the cage, would it stress him out? Most of my experience is with BP’s and the best way to get them to stop eating is to put them in a cage that’s too big. Second question is, I am having a radiant heat panel installed to keep my ambient high enough and I am gonna have 3” heat tape for a hot spot. But I was thinking, how the hell would heat tape work in a cage like that? I sure hope it’s installed on the outside under the cage, but would the heat radiate through the bottom? If it’s inside, what could I get as a liner between the tape and the substrate?
