Yes, I am curious about this as well. You JUST said there is no moisture, yet your tubs have an unhealthy amount of it.
Also, you did not even reply to my last post. Go grab a lighter, hold one to cardboard and the other to a wood. Or even better, leave the heat cable on unregulated covering both of those things. I can personally guarantee that the cardboard will ignite first. When I first started keeping snakes, I had never heard of a thermostat, so my heat sources were not regulated, and often burned out. My tubs never had any damage, nor did my aspen rack. However, the heat pad and the paper covering it had evidently caught on fire and extinguished themselves by not spreading to the aspen OR melting the plastic. But there were clear burn marks on the paper. Since cardboard is essentially just thick paper, it would have the same ignition properties. In the event of a fire, the cardboard will be the first thing to go. Plastic will burn hotter, but it has a flashpoint in it that makes it less likely to burn.
Also, cardboard makes a poor choice for a rack long term (not to mention it makes you look like you don't care about your animals, which your clearly don't, so no person with an inkling of reptile knowledge would trust buying a snake from you). Cardboard degrades over time, especially when it is exposed to heat and moisture, of which you have both. You're going to come home one day and have all those tubs scattered across the floor, and all I can say is that when it happens, I sure hope all the lids pop off those tubs so the snakes can have a better chance at survival.
