    Re: How do you keep the enclosure at a safe temp?

    I would use a radiant heat panel on a thermostat to maintain ambient temperature in the low 80s. And use an under tank heater on a thermostat to maintain the hot spot.
    That would be great only if you never opened up the cage......so that doesn't really make for a good "pet" experience. I think even the front "window" would require
    insulation to maintain warmth, so I gotta recommend against trying to keep any snake in such a room. You'd waste a lot of money trying to set it up, just to fail & likely
    harm the reptile for no good reason.
