So I don't plan on having many snakes. Not enough to have a whole rack worth. I was just wondering what size of tubs I need for a full grown BP? Can I just leave the lids on the tubs, drill holes in the sides, and then just sit them on a shelving unit? I have some of the plastic shelves with the plastic tubes kind of shelves.
Also wondering how I use the heat tape. I really know nothing about it and looking at all of the various posts I still don't quite understand it. So it comes in rolls and you use aluminum tape to attach it to a shelf. Then there are clips and cords and then it all attaches into a thing that monitors the heat? Where do I buy the heat tape and all of the supplies to make sure I have everything. And how about the thing that monitors the heat? I am not good with electrical stuff. So should I attach the tape to the tubs? Or to the plastic shelves? Or attach it to another board and then lay that on the shelves? Does it get so hot that it can melt plastic or make it release fumes?
Thanks in advance!
