    in a rack setup the heat tape is attached to the back wall of the rack which is back heat.
    in belly heat the heat tape is typically routed into the shelf under the back 1/3rd of the tub.

    I use belly heat just because it seems like you are loosing less energy into the room through radiation.

    Very useful thread. I've always heard to use back heat for snakes. we use belly with the leos for digestion. Makes perfect sense to use it with the snakes too.
