I'd rather use UTH for heat if it's possible..
ps. sorry for asking this in your thread, is just that you have a similar design so I was hoping you already had a solution to my dilema...

I was planning on using heat tape with a thermostat for mine, then putting plexi over top sealed with silicon or something similar that's safe for reptiles. Since I planned on making this for adult snakes I was thinking about using pegboard for the back to slide plugs and cords through but not too big for the snakes to escape. Also allows for ventilation.
For a UTH I think there are other threads in here that show how they use them in displays. I know I have seen them before. They tend to create an indented surface in the bottom of the display floor and use plexi over top. Then you can cut a groove/slot in the back wall to slide it in and out. The same process I have also considered using for heat tape, I'm still undecided yet. I could swear there was a thread somewhere around here that shows it.. I'll have to try to find it for you.
