I am planning to get 3 enclosures which I put on top shelfes, so I can't use ceramik heat spots for rising the temperatures at daytimes. So I would put a heat mat a the upper rear wall of the enclosures,
of course I will use 3d printed special spacers to maintain a gap about between 0,5-1cm to the glass.
but iam not sure if the glass, which is very thin, won't crack nevertheless.
So what do you think, will it work out fine or would the glass crack.
This is the terrarium (of which I already ordered 1):

spacers and the kind of heatmat (shown in the pictures) iam going to use:

the heatmat would probably be a 10W 42cmx15cm, which I would place at the rear top end.
however a lot of heat will just be flown out of the enclosure, as the top venting is just sitting above the heatmat then. any better ideas?
I also thought about putting the heatmat in the enclosure for better efficiency.
but I doubt that this would be as good for the living inhabitants (tarantulas of course).
your thoughts?
