There are heatmats out there specifically for Glass tanks, so long as you leave a bit of an air gap they will be fine.

as for size of tank possibly a 4ft would suffice.

Dirtyhog, take a look at plastic cages while you are at it. There are some good deals out there, and they avoid the main pitfalls of glass (poor heat retention, fragility, and lack of privacy (which Brazilians like)). Good luck!
