Okay I see people have made snake racks out of melamine. My brother and dad make custom cabinets and have melamine at the shop. I am only going to have one snake while living here but I need something to put the snake on. I was just wondering if you've ever had any problems with burning or fire on the melamine? I am going to use either a UTH or flexwatt. I am slightly afraid of fire so the less of a chance there is the better. I realize the tub will be lifted slightly so it won't be directly on the melamine but still....I'm worried. I really want a nice rack that I can put my snake and supplies on. =)

Is it safe?
