Acrylic tanks and UTH work?

[warhawk77]

Before I risk melting my acrylic tank can anyone tell me if the under tank heaters will melt it or not? Anyone tried this or not?

I have a nice 30 gallon acrylic tank that is just sitting around catching dust. It could work well for a few leopard geckos but if the acrylic melts it won't work.

Never mind I think it will melt. The melting point is 160F and I bet if I get it 100F for a few hours it will get soft.

Maybe I can trade it off for a 30G breeder or just something bigger

I would get a crested or other Rhacodactylus gecko for it! They are awesome, super cute and don't need heat
