I have my 2 new boas housed in rubbermaids (clear). I have 2 hides, newspaper substrate, water bowl, and are using a heating pad underneath. Does anyone else use rubbermaids and any suggestions? Temps are good and humidity is good, they hold humidity better than aquariums I'm finding out. These are temporary housing until I get their cages built, that will probably be around 4-6 months before complete.
These snakes were housed in rubbermaids at the breeders with only uth for their first 8 months.

Sounds fine. Just be careful with the uth, they get real hot and could burn the snake. the paper acts as insulation and holds heat. Make sure you put a thermostat on it. I actually made cages out of Rubbermaid containers for my Amazon tree Boas. They work Great.

I have some heat pads that I bought at the pet store but those are from the days when I was ignorant to the different ways of heating a cage. I use 11in Flexwatt heat tape on the ones that don't already have heat pads. I regulate temps by how much of the pad is under the cage. I don't use those clips that you have to buy to make the heat tape work, I just solder the wire straight to the metal part of the tape. You can buy different sizes of the heat tape and use it in different lengths. Bush Herp
Go to the heating section. You can a 12in x 11in heat pad for about $5.
