Corn snake rack/ heat question

[Andrew21]

If my room is on average 72 degrees, should I use 11" flexwatt or 4" in my rack? I'll be using 41 quart tubs. Thanks!

The 11 inch will have an easier time getting your ambient up without creating a super hot spot. Which orientation will the heat run on the tub, long ways or short ways. If it is longways, I'd go with 4 inch.

I'm planning on going with shortways. Thanks for the help!

41qt for a cornsnake?

[Andrew21]

I figure why not? I don't think 32 quart will save me much money and I'd like to put some fake plants in their tubs. Also, it would be easier to sell way down the road.

Or you can repurpose it for other types of snakes in the future. Your corn will use every inch of the tub, sounds like a good deal.
