Homemade Habitat - Sterilite

[mckittie]

You don't need a screen top. That would just let out too much of the humidity. just a few holes in the tub. Most people use a heat tape like flexwatt with a thermostat, or you can use a reptile heat pad with a thermostat, placed on the outside of the tub.
Sort of like this....

You are very crafty!

Can I use a heat lamp or would that melt the plastic?

Would using a UTH supply enough heat to the tub to keep temps up?

And thank you very much
