To be honest the melting point of plastic is pretty high, if you're using the UTH in conjunction with a thermostat then you have nothing to worry about. The temp range we keep ball pythons in is no where close to melting plastic.
Ok Thanks that's all i needed to know your help is appreciated...

Re: UTH and Tubs?
I've had two baby Balls for about two weeks now and went through tons of questions and trials, both before and since bringing them home. I finally decided to go without when two local breeders, one who showed me his set-up, convinced me that a UTH wasn't necessary. I'm certainly not suggesting that a UTH is wrong because numerous people on this site use them successfully. I just know that since removing UTH's my snakes have been great! I do have a 100w IR bulb over the warm side and I monitor the temp and humidity several times a day.
