My husband is building our Ball a cage out of melamine, the problem is heating. I know a uth is not going to heat through the bottom of half inch melamine. So How safe would it be to use a zoo med heat mat and seal it between two ceramic tiles hooked upto a thermostat? I have a few extra zoo med heat mats laying around, if not those I can use something else. I prefer not to use lights unless I have to for extra heat like to keep the cool side temps up cause they really dry out the cage.
Thanks
