We're getting ready to bring home 2 corn snakes end of July- they're just eggs right now. I was thinking of putting them in together in a 20 G long but after reading all the threads I'm looking at putting one of them in a rubbermaid, at least until they're a little older. SInce I will have just one rubbermaid (the other will be the tank and it will have its own UTH), what is the best way to heat it, is it ok to affix a UTH to the rubbermaid?

I have sat a plastic tub over (not on) a UTH for a short time to use as a temporary heat source. I don't recommend it. The plastic can get rather hot, if it is not monitored closely. It is dangerous and a hassle. If you don't want to mess with heat tape, I would consider a standard heating pad. You can find one for under $20. I take one with me when I go on overnight trips to herp shows.
Personally, I like heat tape. But, you should always have a way to regulate the temp.
