    I bought mine from the Bean farm I believe both sites sell the same exact heat tape.
    With kindest regards,
    Adin.

    THG is basically the improved version of flexwatt. Its new and heats up more evenly and efficiently.
    I would go with THG from RBI. Plus they have the 6 inch option, which I like over the 4 inch flex.

    The bean farm sells flexwatt, while Reptile basics use to sell flexwatt they now sell THG Heat tape instead.

    I haven't used the new heat tape but I have ordered from Reptile Basics and Bean Farm and had good experiences with both. I will be getting the new heat tape next time I order some.

    I bought the THG for my incubator. I've not had any problems with it yet! I also have two racks from RBI that use it and those run amazing as well.

    On the flip side, I have regular flexwatt on my other rack and it works fine enough.
