is it safe to put a UTH on the back of a melamine cage

rttlrvenom Oct 11, 2004 04:44 PM

ok so i just made this tree set cage out of melamine and it need to be heated because its getting cooler here. is it ok to put a UTH on the back or should i put the uth on the inside of the cage (i would need to hoor it up to a thermostat and reostat so it dosent over heat and fry my snakes) so thats why i was thinking about putting it up on the outside, or atleast putting it under the floor which would be on the celing of one of the cages. Whats your thoughts??

thanx in advance

Use a dimmer, then you can put the heat pad anywhere you want. And I doubt on the back will heat the cage enough.
