Caging Setup

Great enclosures . Did you build them or buy them, how are they heated with UTH?

A friend originally made these for his Columbian boa breeding project and agreed to make more for some of his friends. They measure 4'x2'x18" with the two glass panels in the front being 1/4" glass with rounded edges. They're heated by 2' of 10" wide heat tape on the bottom of the cage. The heat tape uses less than 20W of power and keeps the cages at about 86 on the warm side of the tank. ESU Reptile lights provide 15W UV Daylight. For us the cages cost $100 a piece (not including heating or lighting) but I belive his price has gone up to $150 a cage for that size because of an increase in material cost. He also makes a 2'x2'x18" cage for smaller snakes. Let me know if you've got any other questions or comments.
