    How do I heat tupperwares?
    can heat tape be used? I'm not sure how to do this as until now mine have been in an aquarium. I'm hoping to use heat tape so I can heat two or three tupperwares with the same strand. Will these melt the plastic or will it be fine?

    Heat tape regulated by a thermostat is pretty much the only way to heat tubs

    Heat tape when regulated by a thermostat shouldn't get over 100 degrees. this is far below the melting point of plastic.

    Ok thanks, will read it now. one last question should the tubs be raised as to allow air flow the same as with glass aquariums or can it go directly on the desk they will be on

    Air flow is not a very big deal for me as long as the environment has the right humidity

    I meant air flow under the tupperware to allow heat to escape. Or can they be placed directly down on top of the heat rope

    Don't use heat rope, Flexwatt is much better

    You can sit the tubs directly on the flexwatt
