How do you heat your Rosy's cage?

Do you have a heat source above the cage (heat light or ceramic heater), a heat source underneath the cage, or both?

A nice undertank heater, with a thermostat, or better yet double thermostat, or thermostat/rheostat combo is all you need with them. Overhead lighting is useless, as they are always below the sand, and predominatley more active at night anyways.
Just keep the heating pad at a stable temp, and they will be happy and healthy. As long as they humidity is fine, and the cage is clean.
Planning on buying any, or have you already got some?

I've got 4 I keep together. They are in a 4X2X2 ft cage. The heater is a ceramic heater from above. Eventually I probably will get a rack system that uses heat tape below the cages.

That cage is huge for sand boas. I could imagine that being quite a hassel for a keeper to clean if it is a naturalistic setup.

Radiant's are nice. Real safe way to heat the cages, and very natural.
