So, spured into creative mode by the picture that dblhet posted of his new tanks, I have drafted something similar, except with 5 enclosures, not 6. My question is, is it safe to put a uth inside the compartments on the floor, instead of underneath, as I'll have no other way (that I know of) to have a heat source in there. Is it ok to put them on the inside, as wouldn't it be the same temp inside on the bottom as underneath on the bottom? It would be covered with newspapers or some other substrate. This is the best I can do without being able to upload the draft

The long bottom part will be for storage, and the other 5 compartments will be for snakes. It will be possible to put the uth under the bottom two places, but the rest are cellings as well, and I don't know if it'd be safe on the roof of a tank. So that is why I am thinking on the bottom might be ok. So far, my main idea for building materials is wood(not sure what type yet) and plexiglass for the doors. What do you all think, and if it's not ok to have them on the bottom(inside tank), what would you recommend I use instead to heat them? The large ones are going to be 4'x3'x2', the smaller ones will be 4'x2'x2', the storage will be 8'x2'x1'
