    Ball python rack QUESTION!
    HELLO! so Im new to this forum site and i have some questions about racks.

    About how much will it cost to build it with heat tape, and thermostats and etc.?

    Is a helix or ranco necessary? or can i just use an ordinary thermostat with a
    timer.

    What website sells the cheapest flex watt heat tape with clips and wires?

    thanks!:cool:

    A nice thermostat is necessary. Why cheap out on the most important thing protecting your animals from getting burned or cold? :rolleyes:

    I built an XPVC rack with Flexwatt, tape, tubs and screws for right under 300 including the Herpstat controlling it.

    www.reptilebasics.com

    www.thebeanfarm.com

    There are lots of good suppliers.

    Regards,
