    Ambient room temp help

    I'm new to this forum,so I hope this question is in the right place I have 2 issues:

    1) I built a rack system and got Sterelite tubs from Wallyworld. Have had it in operation for a year with back heat. I know the tub sides are not vertical, but what I just now noticed when I added 1 more shelf and used bottom heat is that the perimeter "bump" around the floor of the tub stops good contact with the heat strip and my internal tub temp is not much higher. Any solution?

    2) OK, in relation to the above... I am using heat tape, rear on 9 racks and bottom on 1. For 2 years I've read about the potential high heat danger (REAL... I know.. Ranco in place),but I've never heard of a minimum ambient room temp requirement. Do you know of one ?

    As you can tell, the combo of the above let you know I'm not satisfied with my temps. There is a L-O-N-G story I could tell,but being my 1st post... I sure would hate to get a reputation for being long winded ( but entertaining!).

    THANKS and I NEVER knew I'd grow to enjoy keeping any type of snake. BPs are so beautiful and gentle that I wish I'd have noticed them more than just 1.5 yrs ago.
