I've run a couple clutches through an RB hatchling rack with no issues. Just adjust the temp up a little so that the back of the tub reads 90 and the front should be running a little higher than ambient. Still have two babies living in there that I haven't been able to sell. They are over 200 grams, healthy and appear happy and cozy.

The back heat isn't cutting it for me because back heat is only effective in heated rooms. I keep my reptile room at 78, and it wasn't warm enough to get a 90 degree hot spot going. I turned up the heat tape to 105 and was still unable to get a 90 degree hot spot. Having to keep the tub damp/wet for their first sheds also seems to impair the hot spot.

Thank you everyone for the helpful suggestions. I'll be going with a c-serpents rack.
