    Advice needed on tub set-up.

    So, I'm wondering if it is safe to stick my UTH under my plastic rubbermaid tub? I've read that these tubs are easier to control temperature and humidity, so I went with that. However, I am afraid of sticking the UTH to the underside of the tub for fear of the plastic warping. I'm assuming it's safe, but I wanted to double check with you guys.

    Well yeah, it's safe with a thermostat.

    I've been reading about making my own rack and that seems to be what they do... I believe if you regulate the heat it will be fine!?!

    If the plastic is warping, that means it is too hot and your snake will already be cooked.

    All heat sources must be controlled with a thermostat. This will prevent such occurrences. 94* will not melt, burn, or warp anything that comes in contact with your snake.
