heating plastic

[lordkovacs]

for all my snakes and other reptiles i use either wood or glass, so i'm not too familiar with the best way to heat plastic...here's the info..


it's actually for my little cousin. he's getting a neo corn. and is gonna house him for a while in one of those plastic critter cages. it's the medium sized critter cage. Only thing I'm not sure of is what the best way to heat it is. is a uth too hot? how bout just a regular light bulb an inch from the top creating a basking area? any thoughts???

cheers all...
