Insulating a sterilite tub? Any Ideas?
So my house is usually 65 to 70 degrees and I cant find a way to insulate my tub to keep the cool side warm without using a heat lamp 24/7 on both sides. Any ideas for an insulator?

Is it possible for you to get a space heater and keep just the room that the snake is in warmer?

I use a couple oil filled radiant heaters in my basement to keep it about 80 degrees. 1 will do the job but 2 dont have to work as hard. The rest of my house is right under 75 and everytyhing works perfectly. Even the snakes.

heat the room
pip insulation
can of spray insulation - spray it on the outside of your cage on 3 sides and bottom and shave it down
aluminum tape on 3 sides and bottom

reflex insulation (bubble wrap W/ silver sides) works well.if your using a lid for the tub be sure to tape some on the inside of the lid.it's found at any HC.have fun!

Never, under any circumstances, use tape on the inside of a reptile enclosure.

aluminum duct tape works fine and causes no threat to the snake,just make sure it's pressed firmly in place.

eh not so much. i wouldn't risk that. next thing you know, from the heat the tape falls off and get stuck to your snake.
