BP Heating Trouble

[Homebody]

You can just peel it. What I do with heat mats that I use for hospital/quarantine is I scrape off all the adhesive and when I need them for something, I use use a small amount of duct tape.

I used aluminum heat tape for mine. Worked great.

It says “sold and shipped by ISTAR” it also says the socket is E26. Does that help?

E26 is the standard size for bulbs in both the U.S., where ZooMed is based, and Canada, where you are. So, I think it'll fit. Is this the CHE you are considering (link)?

Another question, how do I provide heat from the emitter through an aluminum foil top on the screen? Do I just cut a hole large enough for it in the foil?

This is not a seller I would trust. Broken English in the advertising tells me this is not a well run venture. I can see, though, why you'd want to go with a cheaper option. The 100w CHEs I found for sale in Canada from reputable companies (Flukers, Exoterra) were all $45 - $60. Ouch! In the States, you can get them from Reptile Basics for $15. Whoever you end up buying them from, you'll need to get two. When the first one dies on you, you don't want to have to wait for a seller to ship you another. Good luck.

Oh boy, thanks. Yeah, everything reptile in Canada is stupid expensive.
