CB70 Question

[nikevijo]

In the market for a new rack... Is 3" flexwatt (belly) really enough heat for a CB70 tub? Majority of the racks out there only use 3", but I am neurotic and dont think its enough

It depends on where you put it. If it's underneath the tub, it's plenty. If it's going down the side or back or the rack then it's not enough.

I use the ReptleBasics.com CB-70 racks for my breeder females. Rich uses 2 strips of 3” recessed flexwatt on them and since my breeder females generally eat well I would say it is enough.

RBI racks have a very quick turnaround and have some of the best customer service in the industry. I currently have 3 CB-70's and 5 of their 32qt sweaterbox racks and highly recommend RBI.

Ditto what Agent73 said...

I've used the RBI CB70 3-tub rack for 3+ years, and the two strips of 3" flexwatt (belly heat) do a great job of keeping the warm side toasty in all three tubs. A Herpstat t-stat keeps the warm side 92-94F and the cool side maintains 80-82F.

In the winter when the temps drop really low outside, I use an oil-filled heater to supplement ambient temps in my snake room. Very satisfied with the performance of the RBI rack with two strips of 3" flexwatt.

Good luck

I use 2 strips of 4" flexwatt on my CB-70's. But 2 strips of 3" would be enough.
