Where in the heck do you get flexwatt and a:weirdface Reptitemp ? I went to the local hardware store (lowes) and they had no clue what I was talking about -

reptilebasics.com

They're pretty much specialty items. The Reptitemp thermostat isn't really recommended unless you just can't afford something $100.

So I put them up on two 12" wide pieces of melamine, one in front, one in back, with the flexwatt taped to the back piece. There's a little 3-4" gap between them under the tubs.

It did the trick.

I'm still making sure, but temps are staying stable through the night. I'm very satisfied.

It does the job, That 2 x 4 board I showed was pretty much what I always used untill I got my RBI rack. :)
