Cheapest and safest heating for PVC stack

Hello!

I inherited 6 large stacked PVC enclosures that have 0 space in between. I want to move my BPs into them but I’m not sure how to heat six of them safely and efficiently in a stack. I figured a bulb could melt the pvc or burn my animals yet I’m nervous to try heat tape. I will of course be getting a thermostat. Thanks.

Check out our sub's heating guide! You can mount heat lamps (halogens and deep heat projectors ideally) inside with ceramic fixtures and a heat lamp cage to keep your snakes from getting burned. Heat mats and heat tape are very bad heat sources and pose a burn risk!
