Alright, Out of all the place I looked before I brought home my little girl I wish this forum had been the first... sadly enough It was not. Heating my BP's glass terrarium I have 2 Red light heat lamps, and a uth (all of which share a tstat). It has a wire mesh lid that is driving me berserk.

Today I play to insulate the sides of her cage, redo some of the insides, and move the probes to their proper positions. That and I was graciously given a tip for what to do with the wire top but I have a problem. Is it going to be safe for me to make a hole that the lamps can literally sit on? Since the foil treatment I was shown covers the whole thing other than air holes.. I'm kinda lost with what to do with my lamps.

Is there another heating source I should just ditch these things for?
