Heating and thermostates

[snakeprincess]

I am going to start making a 6 bank enclosure out od melamine on the weekend. I was wondering what you all think is the best method of heating to use and the best thermostats? Is there a thermostat that I can get that controls them all? I will be getting a sparky to wire it up for me

The best heat depends on you snakes age and species. For example with a predominately ground dwelling snake like a stimsons, woma ext IMO would go for a heating cord with a tile over the top. If it was a carpet python ect IMO I would go for over head heating (CHE). The cheap 20 buck thermostats don't work! I paid I think 60 for my Jet 001 on/off, heat/light and wouldn't have any other one!
