and i cant seem to find the tread but a little while ago someone put a little how to with routing a heat cord into the floor and putting tiles over the top for heat.so a little shout out to them, in the enclosure split into 3 i gave it a go and works like a charm the tiles sit at 32-38 without a thermo and the rest of the enclosure stays fairly cool. saves a lot using 1 cord doing 3 enclosures

right now in them there is 5 jungles 2 spotteds 2 het darwins 1 BHP and a diamond
yeah the big 4 level enclosure the top level has 2, 2 year old females in it and the one under has a 3 year old male and female.
only keep them together as i wait to build more enclosures.
yeah have a trio of really nice black and golds that are 2-3 years old hopefully get upto size for next season but the pair of almost black and white jungles will be 4 soon so more then ready.
aquarium grade silicone. i don't think they would get under but just don't want them to mess up in the cracks. one of the spotteds has a talent for finding interesting areas to poop
Yes I silicon them down so no 'mess' gets under them and I use pre-sealed tiles as they clean up so much easier - 10x easier than heat matts even the uric acid.
Sabohan yes I leave the cord on all the time as they are connected thru a thermostat and no heat lamp as the idea of the tiles is a 'one spot' heat source for your animal to choose and your not trying to heat the air up in the enclosure to a 'hot box'. I was amazed how much time they spend away from the heat as i have swapped from globes to matts - too now heated tiles and by far the best way to go IMO.
That heat tile looks like a good option for diamonds so are affected from over heating, I might give it ago, cheers. Reptile room is looking great as well, thanks for sharing
Very nice mate...1 thing tho ...think the jungles would appreciate more elivation as in verticl enclosures instead of horizontal...tho perfect for your BHP
