    Best UTH for Plastic Tub?

    I'm thinking about moving my ball into a plastic tub (which will be either a Sterilite or Rubbermaid tub from Wal-Mart). I know Big Apple has their Intellitemp UTH that can be used on plastic but can Zoo Med UTH work too? Recommendations?

    I have used UTH's before with tubs. I don't like Zoo med but prefer using Flukers if you absolutely have to go that route.
    They are a lot safer

    Best answer to date.....

    Tho id suggest just buying 6-12 inch of flexxwatt/THG tape (cheaper, more consistent heat, and well cheaper!)

    Re: Best UTH for Plastic Tub?

    Reptile Basics makes one for $15 that is like heat tape. I have one for my tub and love it. It never is supposed to go over 95 degrees BUT it could so a thermostat is a MUST with any UTH. I just like it because it does not flucuate with room temps as much as a Zoo Med so the thermostat does not have to work as hard I noticed.
