At the moment I use a heat mat inside the viv, but I was looking to get a light , but as my viv has wooden sides and sliding glass doors I wasn't sure how to go about using light as a heat source. Its a 25 gallon tank.

Any suggestions on what bulbs to use how to mount them and how to shield them from the snake to avoid burns.
Could I use a reading light with a certain bulb and shine it through the glass?
