Hey guys

well I am building a new enclosure for my sav and was wondering if I could put a 50 - 60 gallon UTH inside his new wooden enclosure?

I need it to raise the basking spot to 120 - 140F

But im not sure its safe to put it in a wooden terrarium unregulated.

I currently have a small one inside his glass tank that is unregulated and so far I havent had any problems.

I would ofcourse be putting flagstone on top of it so the lizard cant come in contact with it.


I just want to know if im going to start a fire

Keep in mind im using plywood... so im not sure if it will burn at 120F

I do know that plenty of people build wooden enclosures for thier lizards and need to obtain a basking spot of 120 - 140 and they never have any fire problems.

What do you guys think?

Is this sfae to do?
