These strips are all wired together and plugged into a HERPSTAT 1 from Spyder Robotics. It was a bit costly but altogether I don't regret these purchases because of the reliability and safety of their respective products.
So you just ask them to cut th tape to match the size of your shelves correct? Or am I totally off? This has actually been a very useful thred, despite the craziness lol. Thank you all!!

We have always done our own, but from what I understand, Reptile Basics will cut it to your specifications, as well as wire it for you. Rich is a great guy to work with. Don't be afraid to call or email him, he is super helpful.

Yep. If you give them all the desired info Reptile Basic's will fix you up. As long as you purchase the connector's and stuff.

I'm running 3 racks with flexwatt and two racks with THG. I don't notice a huge difference between the racks, but as I update and build new racks I'll be using THG. It heats up much more slowly and is a quality product for the reptile industry. It's still just as dangerous as flexwatt if it's not regulated, so don't kid yourself on that.
As for wiring it. If you don't want to buy the tool order it wired...

As an owner of THG Heat, I would love to offer a less expensive, flat jawed, leveraged crimper. I'm not aware of a $20 version, I would love to be enlightened. You can't just use "any crimper". It needs to be leveraged, to get a powerful crimp, as well as parallel flat jawed.
We had to order a ton of these to get even a $60 retail price, and even then the margin is very slim.

There are some of us that appreciate you passing on the savings Robyn. I would get a set but I solder so I cannot justify them and my wife said I don't need any more toys because I already need another tool box at work. (the photo is just what is in my garage at home )
