ok, here is my take on this. Really great discussion. I am new, but have a lot of snakes. I am learning really quickly. All my snakes are in racks now, I had a girl get really burned bad last spring. I had no regulation on the tank UTH, didnt even know it existed. My girl is OK, she was about dead (I was out had somebody feeding) and have nursed her back, she will never be pretty, but she is eating voraciously now.

My friend did not heed my warnings, and now has a burned snake too. IF USING UTH IN A GLASS TANK BE CAREFUL. IDK what to do, read elsewhere, i just dont do it anymore.

That is all I know
