So basically I am trying to find a way to house 6 snakes in the V180 setup from hatchling to adult. This idea of placing smaller tubs on the heat cable in the shelf, is a solution that I came up with that I believe will work. My only worry is that something will happen to the heat cable that is sort of out in the open. I can always put the tubs in on the shelves that wont have smaller tubs on them. I think putting the temp sensor in an empty tub will allow me to adjust the temperature pretty accurately. Another question I have is which tubs with locking lids should I get? also for the larger tubs with locking lids, do I need to reinforce the lid with bungees or anything? The tubs for sub-adult should be about 36"x24." I just dont know if the snake will be able to push open the lid enough to get out.


I've never used tubs, and am a complete noob when it comes to tubs and snake husbandr. So the TLDR of this is: Can I put smaller tubs on the V180 shelves wiht the heat cable in the shelves, and use that to heat my Tubs?
