    Heating Rubbermaid Containers/heating a stack of them

    Easiest thing I can do in my apt is get one of those sterilite stacks....they go three containers high, I think each is maybe 28qt or right around there....These would be for a trio of honduran milk snakes (all right around 3.5-4 feet long)...My room usually stays lower 70's at night, sometimes 68/69 and mid-upper 70's during the day....is there any way to heat these containers/stack up without having to buy 3 undertank heaters or having wires and a mess every where? Any suggestions or melting the containers? I'm basically talking about one of these- http://www.sterilite.com/Category.ht...ctCategory=45#
    (it's on that page, the three container one)....Thanks so much.

    Make sure its secure. Ive seen someone who used those for boas, but I wouldnt recommend it. I would rather get separate tubs with lids.

    As far as heating I would use some flexwatt. fairly cheap. I would wire them with one plug in. It wont melt if its properly controlled by the thermostat.
