Under Tank Heaters?????

[JeffJ]

why?

because all threads must come to an end. voting just bumps it to the top of the pile.

i think the pole has accomplished its purpose in seeing what the majority of us use.

It doesn't matter, people are still going to look at the thread and vote. You don't need to tell a thread to "die". It will happen eventually.

I use a UTH currently with my boa, but will use the flexwatt when I invest in a rack system for my ball pythons.

My UTH is spliced and hooked on a dimmer switch and also plugged into a surge protector. I have a dual probe thermometer on the hot & cold side.

I will be getting a thermostat for the rack system to be used with the flexwatt.

people stop voting and let this thing die already....

Jeff, please keep in mind that you've been here on the Forum for 12 whole days. Some things are just the way they are...know what I mean.

I use Exo-terra UTH's and Ranco t-stats. I have the t-stat probe between the UTH and tank bottom. Haven't had any problems yet. Even though the Exo-terras can be stuck on, I don't. I only need to use a lamp in the winter...

ok, here is my take on this. Really great discussion. I am new, but have a lot of snakes. I am learning really quickly. All my snakes are in racks now, I had a girl get really burned bad last spring. I had no regulation on the tank UTH, didnt even know it existed. My girl is OK, she was about dead (I was out had somebody feeding) and have nursed her back, she will never be pretty, but she is eating voraciously now.

My friend did not heed my warnings, and now has a burned snake too. IF USING UTH IN A GLASS TANK BE CAREFUL. IDK what to do, read elsewhere, i just dont do it anymore.

That is all I know

I keep telling folks, a thermostat is the most important piece of equipment you need to keep reptiles. So many people try to do without it, and it's the first thing that should purchased.
