Looking to build a 3 tub rack for three adult ball pythons

[tttaylorrr]

sorry, another question for ya taylor :/ Do you have to cut a groove for the heat tape also, how do you cut it in PVC, use a router bit???? I mean, it really should be fine comming into contact with the bottom of the rubbermaid containers, right?

ask away!

no, the heat tape should not be able to touch the tub (TBH i'm not sure why, but i've always read that they can't touch each other). the rack i just got has a ~0.25" x (however wide the heat tape is) groove cut into the bottom so the tubs just slide over the groove over the heat tape.

i haven't figured out how i'm going to cut the groove yet. my father is a carpenter so i'll have to ask him and see if he has any ideas on how to do it.
