considering commercial rack with belly heat - is 4" flex watt enough "coverage"?

There is no way 4 inch heat tape will keep the cool end of a 41qt tub warm enough without jacking the rooms ambient temperature to 78 to 80 degrees

Do you make your racks? I can't find any of the larger tubs that have more than 4" of belly heat, besides Boaphile. They have 2 strips of 4" on the Ballroom Rack. Im not happy with that rack.

AP will do duel 11" on the sides but I really don't like that idea.
I have had concern if the 4" strip would be enough for larger snakes.

3skulls,
I've been looking into the ball room rack because of the two rows of flex watt. My room is on the cooler side. Would like your opinions on the rack. Thanks

I'm not happy with the Ballroom Rack.
It's not sturdy at all. I screwed it to the wall so it doesn't feel like it will fall apart.

I'm not sure if they are all like this or I just got lucky. If I stood on it like he does on his site, it would snap. I don't even like moving it around the room :(

I'm also not a fan of the 41q tubs.

The duel strips are the best part.

I'll be replacing it as soon as I can.


And to be fair. I have a Boaphile 32q 6 tub rack that I love. I'm also happy with 2 of his cages I bought.
If I could fit an Iris tub in the rack and if it was as sturdy as the 32q rack. It would be awesome :p
