Hey, how's it goin' folks!?
I am in the process of building a few new snake enclosures with 3/4" melamine and I am wondering if the THG Heat Tape will create a properly heated surface if it is installed underneath the 3/4" melamine bottom of the enclosures. I have seen people on Youtube do it that way, which would be much easier (and cheaper) than installing it inside of the enclosure. And, not to mention, it would be MUCH easier to replace if ever need be! I just want to be absolutely certain that it will heat properly before I move forward. I assume that I would definitely have to run my thermostats at a much higher temperature than usual to reach the desired internal temperature, yeah?


Have any of you ever done it this way before and if so, how is it working for you?
