[QUOTE="Nanchantress, post: 118391, member: 25533"] Here's what I did: I converted a small bookcase to a T cabinet. Cabinet is 30x40x12 inches with a shelf in middle. Made simple removable plywood boxes lined with flexible radiant barrier (roll of it from Home Depot, hot glued it in). I taped seedling (not reptile) mats along back with foil HVAC tape. Made sliding plexiglass doors (with plastic track from Amazon) to help hold the heat in. I plugged the heat mats into a thermostat just to be safe but I don't think they heat up as much as other heat mats. The plywood boxes are not attached to the bookcase so I can turn it back to a bookcase any time. I screwed the plastic door tracks in with tiny screws so they'd be pretty easy to remove without damaging the bookcase too much . [/QUOTE]
