    Where do ya'll get your flexwatt?

    Looking for the most efficient, most affordable, most foolproof place to order heat tape for a few sterilite enclosures. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I found someone on the forum before who mentioned a member here having already soldered heat tape for sale but for the life of me I can't find it. Thanks.

    If I need it right away I go Thebeanfarm.com because I can drive and grab it But lately I've been buying from Reptile Basics because I don't have to pay tax and it ends up being slightly cheaper.

    Regards,

    Thanks guys. I'm not seeing any pre-done tape on either of these sites though. How would I figure out what I need? I'm going to be keeping three balls. One larger male and a young male and female in three seperate sterilite tubs. Not sure of exact capacity because I am picking up the tubs tomorrow. Any idea?

    This looks quite promising. Is there a FAQ where I could get instructions for how much to order?

    I think I'm going to order a set of 6 36QT sterilites, of which I will need to heat 3.

    well I just ordered from reptile basics and they will assemble it for you free of charge. I also emailed them first and described my setup to them and they told me that 4" flexwatt will work for most applications at least until my BPs are full grown.
