Heat lamps or CHE also work, but you have to make sure there is a cage or screening around them that will prevent your reptile from getting burned.
Thanks so much for your reply! I was thinking of going with a bookshelf but I don't really know the first thing about carpentry so I figured something that already has doors would probably be best lol. Do you have any ideas on how I could securely lock doors like that?
What do you use to seal/waterproof wood?
