Heat Tape Placement Questions

I currently own a 5 shelf 18 x 24 composite rack, assembled with back 11" FW back heat.

I want to add belly heat, in a room where ambient temps are 70 in summer, and 65 or so in winter.

1) Should I simply place new 1 foot 11" FW BH right near the back no far from the back heat?
2) If not, is there a way I can place more toward the front, yet be able to make if so the clips dont have to be rubbed over every time I pull out tub?
3) I was thinking one solution could be mount the BH in and "L", where the clips would be on the side wall. Can I do this?

All suggestions welcome

Wouldnt an oil filled heater be easier??
You know at 65 degrees you are probably going to strain the t-stat and flex-a-watt
And it wont get your cool side up to the 80s, probably wouldnt even get it up to the mid 70s:confused:

Ive been ok with it so far, I have 3 very healthy balls, who even "locked" late this season. They have 50W heat lamps during the day, and only 12" FW at night, and they are fine.
I am just wondering about best place to locate the FW with my set up
