    11X12 inch flexwatt under tubs with a blanket covering the closet opening should keep the closet pretty warm.

    Test it out if you can, cover the opening and turn the hot spots to 95 and I bet the closet stays plenty warm.

    I never had a problem with my snakes with a 60/65ish cool spot in the winter. I did turn the heat tape up a few degrees in the winter and back down in the spring (spring hotspot was 92/93, winter was 97/98. Never had a respiratory infection or anything. My guys would seasonally go off feed seasonally, but thats normal for balls.

    Kind of unrelated, but I had a closet setup for my bearded dragons a few years ago and it worked great. I took the doors off the closet, and had 2 40gallon tanks and 1 20gallon in there. It was when I had a bunch of roommates and a very small apartment bedroom, so I had to make it work. Basking temps for dragons have to be around 100 degrees and I maintained the temps just fine (with basking bulbs) but I know it's different for BPs. Just saying it can probably be done!
