    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.

    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.
