Flexwatt is a carbon heating strip essentially the same as a commercial UTH only not enclosed in material, just bare bones. If I was setting up just a single snake habitat I am not sure I'd mess with it, yes it is a bit cheaper but to be honest I'd buy what you need the first time buy quality and not need to re buy things later. Flexwatt works great but you are not setting up a 10 slot rack just a single enclosure. You don't need it really. The wiring it and connections make it a pain. In my case my insurance company refused to cover me at all unless it was inspected by an electrician and certified, $250 later. It makes sense for large instillations not for a single one.
