Snake Racks
hey im new to the herping community. Im sure there is another thread already answering this but, i have found several different answers so far. I want to make a rack with plastic tubs for my snakes. Are uth pads ok to use on plastic tubs? i have heard yes it is and i have heard no its not. So what are your thoughts?

Re: Snake Racks
Flexwatt heat tape is typically used in racks

Yes, you can use a UTH on a tub but you would need a reliable thermostat.
You can use flexwatt for single tub also - there's not much significant savings doing so and you have to "assemble" it yourself and you still need a reliable thermostat.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Re: Snake Racks
a herpstat made by spyder robotics, and be careful if you're going to slide a tub in and out across your heat tape or UTH, they will wear and the results may not be good.

Re: Snake Racks
herpstat will cost you about $100- ...that is what I use and it is awesome. But reptilebasics.com also has some even cheaper than that.
