Hey there!
I've decided to go with the 3 ft. slanted NPI cage (http://www.npicages.com/s36t_npi_36_...tile_cage.html) for my ball python. The trouble is, I'm not sure the best way to heat it. Here are the options as I can see them. I'd love any advice you guys have!
1. RHP: I have no idea if this will work with this cage due to the slanted top. It's what i had originally planned to use based on what I've heard about safety.
2. CHE + UTH: I have a herpstat so I can regulate everything, but do these still pose a greater fire risk compared to RHPs? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this. Also worried about loss of humidity with the CHE.
So clearly, my major concerns are maintaining humidity/temp and reducing the risk of a fire.
Please let me know if y'all have any advice!
