Please help with DIY

Shared this on FB and a few BRB experts pointed out the challenge of retaining heat near the tubs. Seems obvious, until you understand the shelves are glued in. Anyone have any input?

I think you will end up with alot of missing snakes personally.

[Strutter769]

I can agree with that. The suggestion was to simply place a stone/weight in the top box as opposed to a baby.

When you posted that on FB i thought about the heat thing, I THINK if the ambient temp of the room isnt too low you should be able to figure out a setting on your heat tape to make up for it... or you could...wow im lost....

[Strutter769]

Ambient room temp 80°.

[DeesBalls]

I would almost think that if the ambient room temp is at 80, and you have the heat tape set to 86, the tubs should be around 82 or so.. maybe just play with different setting on the tape and see???

I'm just spitballing ideas at ya.

Even if I can bring the shelves to fit snugly around the tubs, I still need somethin' else to help insulate and keep the heat in near the tubs, right?

Is this idea more trouble than it's worth, ya think?

Just add more shelves.

I agree with korbin add more shelves and can you build the walls out forward and put a door or doors on the front?
