yes, those would be definitely better looking than those cords. where would i get the vinyl straps?

i have run into a problem w/ the tub. the absolute lowest thermostat setting (one turn from being shut off) still gives out 105 degree heat on the tub bottom. the bedding will only help out until the snake eventually touches the bottom. could i offset this by adding a couple layers of newspaper?
