Thanks for the reply, would a heating pad work if i cut out a peice of the wood so it wasn't touching it? Or would that still burn my house down? Cause I don't know where to get any of that flexwatt stuff in Calgary, because I don't have a car.

I don't think my local reptile store has it either and I hate ordering stuff on the internet, but if it's the only answer, I can do it.

and sorry about that, I'm new to the site haha.
