    Glad it helped! This is a FAQ from Reptile Basics about heat tape that may help also

    After a ton research, I decided to definitely NOT use melamine. It is weak, and prone to warping or easily damaged.
    its expensive, but I went with THICK ¾” OAK plywood, water-proofed with primer and deck paint.
    build it right the first time, the last time. ;)

    I am drawing up plans right now for the rack, I will post a final plan before i start so you guys can point out any mistakes or things you think i should change. I am thinking that i will only make the shelves of the rack PVC and then the sides and the back will be painted plywood. That way I can make it for cheaper. What size of heat tape and how much do you guys think i need? and whats your favorite cheapest thermostat that would work well for this? Thanks!
