    Rich at Reptile Basics is hands down the go to guy for this sort of stuff. Best customer service, delivery like you wouldn't believe and great products. We have an Reptile Basics rack here and just love it.

    The nice thing with that second rack you are looking at is you can order the tub dividers with it. Then you have options if you need a baby tub....you just split a 32 easy as anything. Pull the divider when they get bigger. :)

    Back or belly heat. Personally in a stable room that doesn't experience big swings in heat, I think back heat is fine. If not, I'd say go belly heat. You might want to consider one of Rich's temp guns tossed in that order (save on shipping). They really are a great tool to have to monitor the rack. You'll also need a t-stat or rheostat to run the rack. Read the FAQ's there about flexwatt and such. They are a great resource.

    Well, the room they will be in for now has some major temp swings, and it is hard for me right now to keep ANYTHINg stable, but I am trying really hard to make it work for a couple more weeks. So, I guess it is belly heat for me. When I move, it may be better though (temp wise) so .. I think I will still go with belly, I like that sound of that better.

    I am well aware of the need for the t-stat and temp gun, and that is all on my list for when I get it. I still have my Gov. check coming (DAMN MY LAST TWO DIGITS OS MY SS#!!!!!) so I think that will be what I splurge that on, getting the setup ready and such. I may have enough left over to purchase a nice female as well .. we will see.
