    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello, everyone! I just bought a reptile cage that is all wood with sliding front glass doors. All my other tanks are all glass and I use the UTH heaters and love and prefer them over anything else. But they all say for glass tanks only. Is there some other type of heater pad or tape that is electrically safe (ul)0 certified) that I could put on the inside on one side and then lay a Zoo med tank liner over it and use safely for the snake and that will not catch fire or what ever. I have a light in the tank but I only keep the lights on for about 10 hours. I also don't want to use heat rocks, heat lamps or thing like them. I know you guys have great ideas and what has and dose work for you all with wood or plastic tanks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
You might want to check out a radiant heat panel. Safest way to go for wood cages, and the best way to keep cosistant ambient temps.Also, you animals can't get burned if they touch them. I like these kind because you don't have to buy optional trim pieces to keep smaller snakes from climbing the edges. They go by the siz eof your cage,so the smaller your cage is, the smaller ( cheaper) panel you will need.
