    Tomorrow i'll have the tubs, but i still don't know if i should get heating mats or a heatcable.

    What would you guys do?

    Yeah i know, but i'm from Holland. We don't have flexwatt over here
    So if you had the choice between mats or cable, what would you recommend?

    I'm not sure which heat source to advise you to go after, but I did want to ask, do you intend to usually keep the closet door closed when you have your snakes set up in there?

    I was a little concerned about ventilation as well...

    FWIW, I have an Animal Plastics rack with heat cable and it has worked great for me so far. I prefer flexwatt now, but either can be made to work fine. Just make sure you control each with a reliable thermostat.

    I took the doors out today, so i'm not keeping it closed. Besides i'm going to drill a few holes in the tubs too.
    The window in this room has a little ventilationstrip in it, so it the room is provided plenty fresh air.
