I've hit a snag. I'm not sure where to place my 100w heat bulb and cage in the cabinet. I was initially planning to put it in the bottom section so he could have a nice warm hideout, but I'm worried about fire hazards (even though the fitting, cage and bulb don't radiate enough heat to ignite wood afaik) and I'm worried about him getting burnt if I place it badly.
I was originally gonna mount it horizontally in the side of the bottom section, but realised that he might try to crawl on top of the cage and meet his doom. Then I was thinking vertically in the back left-hand corner but that will be awkward and will lead to a spot inside the main cabinet either being dangerous or needing to be blocked off (with a small frame and wire mesh to allow it ventilation without being a burn hazard).
The worst part is I need to plan what I'm doing before I do it because I'll ruin the cabinet if I start drilling trial holes everywhere.
Anyone have any ideas based on my most recent photos?
