The new install

I think it looks ok. Easier to maintain than vivs. It will do until I can afford a racking system.

Going to shorten the poles aswell.

That looks great! How do you heat the tubs like that?

Heat mats

Nice setup.

And the heat mats won't warp the plastic or make the plastic give off unhealthy vapors for the snakes?

How do other rubs get heated?? As the rubs are also plastic?? So I don't think any vapours are given off. If anyone's got any other ideas

No, at the temps heatmats run (on T-stats) for BP, they are not going to melt, warp, or cause the plastic to give off vapors.

I actually had this worry until it was pointed out to me that the temperatures we keep BP at are lower than human body temperature. Thinking of it that way - yeah. It's not really hot enough for that kind of thing.

I have the same exact shelf that I use for hatchlings. I ran a 4inch strip of flexwatt towards the back of each shelf and it works great. Not as space efficient as a real rack but it works. And no vapors will be given off unless it's on fire...
