I am looking to adopt a ball python. I've had one before but in a glass tank. I've read a lot about how plastic tubs make better housing but I'm left to wonder, what exactly is the best way to heat them. I want to use an under tank heater and read somewhere that I can use a ceramic tile to dissipate the heat to keep from burning the snake or melting the tank. What are your thoughts on the best way to go about this and how do breeders usually heat their racks?
