Ah, I thought you meant they had shown some sort of groove being made for the clips, so that wouldn't happen? Rats!Originally Posted by Gocntry
Well now that I read the instructions CLOSER..... Back of the page...
"You will want to make sure that the cage does not sit on the flexible heat clips. They will need to butt up to the back or side of the cage"
FYI, I use this same type of UTH (Flexwatt) with clear clips over the connections, but I'm using glass tanks for my colubrids -not PVC enclosures that stack.
What I do is apply weatherstripping* (it's peel & stick) to the bottom edges of all tanks, then leave a few gaps in the weatherstripping* for wires to emerge without the tank sitting on them, & also to allow the recommended "air gap" for safe heating (to prevent over-heating). Maybe you can do the same thing? That way the whole UTH will be under each AP- as deep as desired. Another benefit is that the cages or tanks don't slide easily- they've got "brakes".
