Hello all, in the process of making a snake rack out of a pallet... As I'm deciding to use heat mats instead of tape, do you just cellotape it to the bottom of the tub? Does this not melt it.. Assuming you make a very small gap between the wood and tub for heat to escape? Just don't want it melting the tub and burning my snake, obviously I do have a thermostat a pulse proportional one. I'm making a rack because I currently have 3 4ft vivs and I want to get to more bps but the space is limited and cleaning process is long. Any tips etc be pleased to hear them before I make a start. Oh and one last thing do you treat the wood with anything like heat resistant stuff idk aha Will post pics down the line. thanks for any responses (the heatmats will be swell reptiles 20x40cm (40w) ones)
