I am thinking of moving my ball to a wooden viv and I´ve read there is no problem with having the UTH inside. But my ball python tends to tip his water bowl so am guessing I would need to cover the UTH to avoid any problems when he spills the water. What would you guys suggest would be the best to cover it with?
as above i would swap to a heat lamp, but if your sticking with a mat you could use lino and sealant (as BE said) or put the mat underneath (outside) the viv...
