You need to use a router and cut a grove for the cable to sit in Smile

Ailurus:

If you are still thinking about using plasticboxes, you can cut holes in it and put mesh there for the uv, to pass through. I wouldn´t put the uv-tube in the back though, as it will be hard to change it. Better to put it in a "front corner".

no UV tubes are not dangerous, they are actually beneficial, they allow you to see the snake and also aid the snake in producing calcium, this decreases the chance of them getting MBD. also in the wild snakes are provided with UV anytime they like, so why would it be dangerous in captivity.
