I’m a huge fan of the plastic/pvc cages with radiant heat panels because I’ve found that setup to be easy to heat, maintain humidity, and clean. While it is a pricier setup, it’s what I will typically recommend due to ease of use. That said, it is by no means the only answer. I started with tanks, like most of us that have kept reptiles for many years. I’ve built homemade cages from melamine and used plastic tubs, though not in racks. I’ve used basking lights (day & night), CHE’s and UTH’s. Each setup worked well in its own way for my needs at the time. Some setups just take a little more work to get the husbandry on point depending on the conditions in your home. Ultimately it is about a shared love for these amazing animals and providing them the best life we can afford.
