    Most places that sell flex watt will also sell the connectors. That said, I don't know any common commercial retailers that you can just walk into a store and buy it from, that's usually an online order. You can DIY connect everything just fine if you have a soldering iron, though. That would probably be easier to find in a generic hardware center than the connectors. Just make sure to cover any exposed metal with electrical tape when you're done.

    Your best bet is a snake show if you want to buy local otherwise it will be online.

    Find somewhere that sells them in bulk. Buy like 100.

    In 20 years it will have been worth its weight in gold over that span of time, even if you never thought you'd need them. I'm kicking myself for losing mine in moves and deciding I didn't need 30ft of flexwatt sitting around, now I have to spend twice as much on the same product

    If you are wanting the crimp on ones, finding them locally will be extremely difficult and unlikely. On the other hand, if you are wanting the sets like Reptile Basics uses, you can get a grommet set and a hole punch at just about any craft store.

    I mean, you can also just scrape some of the plastic coating off, solder the wire in place, and drop a silicon bead on it to fully coat the area for water resistance
