    Default exo terra tank background and ceramic heat

    I noticed that the background that comes with the terrarium is Styrofoam material. Any chance of the background melting if I place the 60w ceramic heater on one corner on the front side of the tank?

    Default Re: exo terra tank background and ceramic heat

    Myself do not like those backgrounds because they take a large area of usable space inside tank. However, even if I don't use them, think the top's black plastic frame would melt before the heat gets to affect the background. Guess it will depend on the size of the enclosure; but as long as the dome is not in contact with the plastic, it should be OK .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
