I did read just the other day, in "The Complete Ball Python" (everyone knows that book,, that UTH can and will crack glass if they are not regulated and the hot spot suddenly gets cooled down. Water spilled on that area?

So yes it possible. Not very likely. But it has happened.
water spilling...i think its kinda far fetched at such low temps but not impossible, mayb ill try it, take a standard 10 gallon heat the thing up and pore some room temp water on it, if they doesn't work, ill try cold water, i still don't see it happening at only 150 degree tho, but guess you donno till you try.

but fact still stands, not good for the snake eigher way lol
