    Where do ya'll get your flexwatt?
    Looking for the most efficient, most affordable, most foolproof place to order heat tape for a few sterilite enclosures. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I found someone on the forum before who mentioned a member here having already soldered heat tape for sale but for the life of me I can't find it. Thanks.

    best Ive found is beanfarm.com If I'm not mistaken they may sell already soldiered tape.

    If I need it right away I go Thebeanfarm.com because I can drive and grab it :D But lately I've been buying from Reptile Basics because I don't have to pay tax and it ends up being slightly cheaper.

    Regards,

    Thanks guys. I'm not seeing any pre-done tape on either of these sites though. How would I figure out what I need? I'm going to be keeping three balls. One larger male and a young male and female in three seperate sterilite tubs. Not sure of exact capacity because I am picking up the tubs tomorrow. Any idea?

    This looks quite promising. Is there a FAQ where I could get instructions for how much to order?

    I think I'm going to order a set of 6 36QT sterilites, of which I will need to heat 3.

    well I just ordered from reptile basics and they will assemble it for you free of charge. I also emailed them first and described my setup to them and they told me that 4" flexwatt will work for most applications at least until my BPs are full grown.

    These should help answer some of your questions.
