    I agree wit hother either use wax paper or just foil tape it . I can see spending the big buck( for me ) on the tank that tank is really nice. I shutter at the ideal of getting the 160 (give or take) for those so called reptile ones with the screen tops that slide on and off from the tope. I prefer my 8 buck tubs and my racks since i don't have the room to place 18 tanks around in single 7x8 sq ft room

    thanks alot, yeah i am really happy I didnt have to get one of those tanks, they are such a pain in the ass for changing water and getting the snake out.

    Now I can just slide the big front doors or open the screen on the top.

    Wait a second, help me clarify something please.

    You aren't saying you put the new UTH over top of the old one are you?

    Because if you did there is no way the heat from the new one can pass through the old one. I'm pretty sure this is just me being an idiot, but I have to be sure for your sake and your snakes.

    Very nice setup by the way, I hope to have a showtank like that one day for the pied I hope to breed in a few years.

    Having the new UTH over the old really wont be a problem. All the heating pads I've ever dealt with have been basically laminated flexwatt anyways.

    It may not be as efficient as having the UTH directly on the glass (which is not efficient anyways) but it will definitely work.

    If you are really concerned about it then you could put the new UTH on the other side of the enclusure (as was previously mentioned) or you could grab a straight razor and scrape the old UTH off.

    Bear in mind that with ventilated sides and a full screen top, you are going to have a very difficult time keeping up the humidity in that enclosure.

    That is a beautiful showcase!! Very nice....remember if you have problems with humidity..put in a humid hide...you have room.

    In the future with a UTH...get some silver electrical tape and tape it on. The tape will help direct the heat upward to the tank as well. ;)

    Thanks for all the compliments on the tank you guys. I am rather enjoying it myself.

    Yeah the humidity is something im still trying to figure out, misting it down a few times a day is working for now but I am definitely getting a moisture box for it though.

    Thanks again!
