I love my rack from reptile basics.

K thank you im gona look some up now.
In your opinons is it better to go with belly heat or back heat?

I have a BP rack that I like. The only thing I dont like about it is they use heat cork. I prefer heat tap. Also I think belly heat is much better since it aids digestion.

do the rack systems at reptilebasics.com come with the flexwatt heat tape? And is the heat from flexwatt heat tape adjustable? Or does it provide a perfect 90 degree hot spot?

I am asking because I only have 1 BP right now, but I am planning on building my collection fairly soon and switching to tubs instead of tanks once I get more than 3-4 BPs.

You can check out the reptile basic racks....I have one and love it. You can also check out the DIY thread and build your own. :D

RBI's come with heat tape installed, and will need to be controlled by a t-stat.

I have RBI racks, they work just fine. I have belly heat in them. I made my hatchling and juvie racks, those all have back heat and I've never had any problem with the heating aspect, only my shotty craftsmanship.

I am going to add some more juvie/male racks and think I am gonna go with the 'ultra series' set-up from Repti-Racks, I've been doing a lot of research and they seem the best way to go, to me.

That's my 2 cents.
