I've got the T-10 as well and I use the belly heat on the hot side and a radiant heat panel on the cool side. This is THE way to go. I used to use a lamp, then changed to a CHE, and now the RHP and I no longer have to spray the tank, ever. I posted pics of my cage with the heat panel and also did a review of it a while back. My Ball's cage has the sliding glass doors, and my corn has the swinging doors, which I think are better for thinner snakes because they can't squeeze between the glass (like on the sliding doors). Def get the locks, just for peace of mind, when friends or family come over and inquisitive little ones want to poke their hands where they don't belong.
