Default help on leo rack?

hello my dad is converting my wardrobe into a rack for my leos but i dont know how to heat it, i dont want to buy a lot of heat mats but i would consider it, but i want to know if i can use heat cable, but how would i install this?

i was thinking of placing the heat cable zig zagged on the back of the rack but i thought leos need belly heat i really need help.

im also using plastic tubs.

Zigzag a heatcable on the bottom at the warm side, then go in a straight line to the lower terra and zigzag on the bottom warm side again might be a plan.
But you'll need a long heat cable for that (depends on amount of racks you got of course).
Wouldn't buying a mat/terra be the easiest? Or do you have like 15+ terras?
