Awesome tub I found!

Its by Ziploc & it has 2 latches on each side & of course 1 on each end. It was pushing $16 @Walmart. Not a bad price for the extra security, plus its good for owners like me who only have 1 or 2 snakes that don't have room/money for a rack system/snakes to go in them:) (I wish I did though!)

Got a soldering iron & already have the ventilation holes put in. I have to wait for him to digest his latest meal before I take the UTH from his tank & put it on this. I also have some black spray paint to black out 3 sides.

It's a 60qt & I'm going to clutter it up (like his tank) so he feels more secure.

Please don't forget to put the uth on a thermostat. Very nice tub. :salute:

O of course! A thermostat is a must-have!!

Looks nice, the one suggestion I would make is to tape off the areas you want to paint then take some super fine sand paper to it and rough up the tub. I use a tub with a lid for a quarantine tank and I did the same thing with spray painting it black on the sides and didn't scour the plastic first and as a result it flakes right off if you even look at it wrong.

Looks really nice and secure. is the bottom completely flat?

Unfortunately not, still trying to figure out how to get th hot side flat. I didn't notice the gridded bottom until I was putting on th bottle cap feet. Don't want to use the soldering iron to flatten it out

I would use heat tape. UTH are way overpriced. Heat tape would cost about $5 maybe? Depends on length and width you get. The heat pad thing I am unsure about. Don't see how it would even be close to properly regulated without a thermostat. I would stay away from it myself.
