okay, i have not got the materials to build my rack yet, i did just order the heat tape though, my questions is this.....

if i use lids with my tubs, do i NEED to use melamine? i hear its only good if you go lid less because the humitity, but i keep the lids on couldnt i just use a cheaper wood?

thanks!

Yes it would hold the humidity a lot better to. The thing i don't like about the lidless racks that you see is i be afraid of my snake trying to get out as i slid it back in and getting hurt. Plus if you make it were the tub just fit in snug like on the lidless rack having the lid on it is just one more thing keeping your snake from escaping.

That's why I'm using lids, I'm too nervous that they will escape, especially my lil corns...

So it will be okay of I use like plywood and say 2x4's? Not those exact peices but just an example.....
