Keep melting Zoomed UTH's on my tubs... Is my setup wrong?

[omnibus2]

uhhh, yeah...

Did you not see the part in my post where i mentioned the thermostats they are connected to?

Apparently I missed it, sorry.

What kind of thermostat?

Umm from the best of my knowledge zoomed UTH are for glass containers only. I have some Vision cages left over and wanted to use them and had a very hard time finding UTH in a pet store that will work for plastic. I would suggest some kind of Flexwatt hooked to a thermostat will be ideal for you. Or you can put stick the heat pads you are using to the back SIDE wall of the plastic, that will not burn your container as bad as the bottom.

Someone needs some sleep. From his original post.... "Reptitherm 500r thermostat"

I know very little about flexwatt, tell me what I need and I'll purchase away

[crusher]

if you go to reptilebasics.com they will wire it for you so all you need to do is plug it into your thermostat

all you do is tell them how much and it arrives in working order!
