Okay, lemme give a little background info. I have a young Brazilian rainbow boa who I was keeping in a glass tank. Of course I couldn't keep the humidity where it needed to be so I moved her to a plastic tub and all my problems were solved.

But now I have an issue with heat because as we all know, plastic melts. I was considering cutting a hole in the top, lining it with a wire netting, and putting the heat lamp over that. As for the heat pad, I was going to find a thin piece of glass or ceramic and attach the pad to that, then tape the whole getup to the bottom of the cage.

I bought a thermostat forever ago and the darned thing broke. I've been keeping my ball python for four years without one and have had no problems with it exploding or bursting into flames. He has never been burned by it, but I make sure there's a good layer of aspen between him and the heat pad.

Any other suggestions?
