Here's the million-and-first tub question: You can keep BPs in a plastic storage box???

Why is it, then, that everything I've read online and in books is about dimensions of tanks? And that's all that's available in pet stores? The instructions that came with the UTH pad clearly says glass only, and lists a variety of surfaces it should NOT be used with, plastic being one of them.

Oh help, my head is reeling with all this BP info... It's like there's general snake/BP info out there, then there's this forum of actual, concerned BP owners that, frankly, I trust more. I hope our new snake doesn't die of old age before we get all of this right.
