is that basically just a "just in case, we told you so" warning....
just want to make absolutely sure i dont start a fire or melt the tubs or burn teh balls.
Well first of all, a 105 quart tub is WAY TO BIG.
Even the biggest ball python goes in nothing bigger than a 41 quart tub.
As long as you are using the UTH with a thermostat, there will be no issue with it melting anything.
