Yet another project

Hmm,

Could you put a panel of glass in the bottom with a heat pad? Or are you looking more for overhead heating?

Definitely overhead heating. The lighting solution I have, is going to create a "basking spot" almost as long as the enclosure, almost as wide as the hole in the top and starting at a height of about 30 cm. A branch or something similar would bring the inhabitants close enough to bask.

What does that solution look like? Are you thinking that you need more penetration of the heat from above? If you have a basking solution that covers the length of the enclosure, will you have room for additional fixtures to provide more heat? I'm thinking IR, but you've got me confused with the "basking spot" and the height is problematic. That is why I was thinking a heating pad from beneath.
