Racks and heat tape

1. whats a good site to order heat tape from.

2. I just built my rack and was wondering what would give me the beast heat putting the tape under each tube or behind it on the back of the rack I live in Canada so it can get kinda cool in house so any input would be great.

1) I don't know of any Canadian suppliers, but there surely are some. Most of the US suppliers are far enough away from you that it's likely a Canadian supplier would be close enough to have cheaper shipping. Otherwise, Reptile Basics Inc. is generally a name thrown around here a lot that has made plenty of BP.net'ers happy with their products.

2) I'm of the opinion that heat tape under the tub is the best for ball pythons, ESPECIALLY if you live somewhere with indoor temperatures that drop into the 60s in winter. They're pretty good at thermo-regulating themselves, and in a colder areas it's difficult to keep ambient temps up, so it's best to at least have a good hot spot. Make sure you have a hide over the hot spot, and they've have a nice toasty hut to curl in to stay warm.

I have to agree :gj:

I know Greg West, http://www.cornelsworld.com/ sells racks in Canada he is great to deal with although I have never bought a rack or enclosure from him I have bought his Flexwatt and found him to be very good with questions and shipping.

I don't know but sly plastics may do racks but I don't think so google will find him.

Hope this helps,
Alex

Greg West for sure. I've bought PVC Racks, Herpstats and Flexwatt from him in the past. Very good prices and ships right away.
