    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.
