I agree those underbed tubs are excellent. Sounds like the soldering iron you had was a cheapie. You might want to purchase a higher quality one (around 20-30 at Radio Shack etc) Or be sure you have a sharp drill bit. I personally prefer the ease of soldering irons for making holes, Just make sure when you use it you don't push to hard, let the iron do the work. Also have a damp paper towel handy to wipe off any excess plastic that might build up on the iron. If you do decide to go with drill bits, be sure you have a sharp bit, and also debur the inside of the hole when finished to prevent any hanging points that could cut the snake if they rub their noses on the holes.
