Heat Pad and Tubs ???

[PolishPython]

Ok so I was thinking about getting one more BP but I have no more rack room left if I buy a exo terra heat pad and stick it on the bottom of the tub is that safe and maybe covering the whole thing with foil tape ???? Also u have to use the little pegs right to put in the corner of the tub. I was hoping to do that and just put it on top of my RBI CB70.....good idea ...if you have any tubs set up like this can you post a pic ....Ps of course I will be using a thermostat !

As long as you use a separate thermostat with the heat pad, it will be fine. I attach all my UTHs with foil tape.

And yes, use the little pegs.

Here is how I have my Exo-Terra heat pads mounted on my tubs...

Secure the thermostat probe with aluminum tape...



then just tape down the UTH. You don't need to peel the adhesive backing off of the UTH, leave it on, then you can remove and re-use the UTH as needed. And stick on the little rubber feet...



Is that what you were looking for?
