I would admit defeat Jack! Wink

A microwave oven is designed for reheating pies as precedence rather than allowing sufficient airflow, space and temperature gradient for an amphibian or reptile to prosper. The area that you describe is far too small for a temperature gradient to develop however small a heat mat that you would intend to use. Confused

Now, if you were to use an old cheese grater instead, your ventilation options would be far greater! Razz Laughing

Only joking mate. Put it out with the rubbish Wink

i do not keep any of these so it may not be big enough, but just an idea
