    I have used flex watt before and know that you should not use it without something to control the temps...It gets way too hot and could cause a fire and or burn my snakes.

    My room stays pretty cool though, I'm trying to figure out how to keep the cool end of the tub not too cool. I'm using 4 '' flex watt...but it seems to only keep the little area warm..Should I try 11 '' ?


    How big are the tubs in your rack system?? I would not recommend 11" tape unless your tubs are CB-70 (or similar), as you will heat too much of the tub. If your room is too cool, you may also need to keep your vent holes to a minimum in order to retain enough warmth inside the tub.

    I used to use 11 inch with a Ranco when my tubs where in open air over flex-watt. It was fine, they were 28qt by the way. If anything I could move the tubs around, but I never did.

    Now my BP's have a RBI rack. Im using that 11" for the 2 RTBs I just got with those tubs in open air again, until I figure out where I'm gonna put them.
