Yet another project

Will that be how you access the viv also? Something similar to the other enclosure in your pic?

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.

No, I'm thinking that I'd like to have a distinct basking spot and not one provided by the aquarium lamp I'm going to use to provide light. I did something like this by accident a couple of years ago and the area just below the lamp turned out to be a more popular basking spot, than the area below the actual heat lamp.

If you can see the snake in the picture below, that's where they'd usually sit.



I'd also like to keep everything electric outside the enclosure and I'd like to avoid any extra holes.

Will that be how you access the viv also? Something similar to the other enclosure in your pic?

It will be how I access it. The idea I was going to try this time, was the one in the 3D models above. I'm having second thoughts about the low and wide pane of glass at the bottom.
