Plastic Tubs and Heat Mats

Charlotte

Derp snake says hi.
Setup in question is a small (for a hatchling) plastic tub and a small heat mat.

Setup is for a boa, so temp will be around 83.

I am planning to use the rubber 'feet' and have the mat just resting on the ground and not adhered to the tub. Will have a thermostat regulating the temp.

Just wanted to get opinions on if this will work.

Also, am I going to need the 90-ish basking spot? How should I be providing that with a plastic tub lid?
 
The setup will be fine with the heat mat placed as you describe. Just make sure you have the thermostat probe inside the tub, directly on the floor above the mat.

Not sure how you'd provide a basking spot in a plastic tub - not a problem we have with Corns! Hopefully someone else can advise on the Boa-specifics.
