    Re: Insulating a tub

    You could stick a towel or a blanket over the top, just make sure the sides are open so some air can get in. Do you have the tub sitting on anything? You could put it on some foam board covered in aluminum or aluminum tape, this might help reflect more heat back into the tub instead of radiating the heat into the floor (is she under your bed still). J

    Also, remember that heat rises, so the closer to the ground she is, the less heat she is getting. Is there any way you can raise her tub somewhere higher?

    I second the space heater.

    Radient heat panels are pretty expensive (you can get them from reptile basics). No heat source by your snake should ever pose a risk of setting anything on fire, if it did, your snake would obiously already be dead. Any heat source you are using directly on the enclosure should not go hoteer than 95*, which is not hot enough to melt anything.
