Leaving a gap between heat and tubs DIY rack
What are the reasons most professionally made racks leave a space between heat tape and the bottom of the tub?
Second question. What's the best way (in your opinion) of achieving this gap when building a DIY rack?

1. So the sliding of the tubs doesn’t wear on the heat tape.
2. Router

no belly heat for my boas or ball pythons (or colubrids or blood python) - haven't had any issues and have successfully bred boas and BPs in these set-ups, have had some of my BPs since 2011 and boas since 2000s like this.
I do keep my ambient home temps (and snake room temp when I used to heat just that room) in the low 70s.

I have two DIY racks and the reason I didn't get the gap right is because I bought cheap wood. If you buy melamine I believe that is the good stuff don't buy composite wood.
