    I use flexx-watt & heat cable in my racks & Retics enclosures. I also use UTH for my quarantine tubs(T-rex & zoo med). ALWAYS these are on a good T-stat or dimmer.
    All the Best,

    I use Zoo-Med but unfortunately made the mistake of buying a Zoo-Med rheostat when I should have gone with an actual thermostat to control the heating pad.

    Re: UTH brand... POLL!!

    I'm currently using two brands. One is zoo med, the other is I think Exo-Terra. I liked the zoo med, but would prefer the Exo-terra. I found the Exo-terra doesn't get as hot and it much easier to control with a dimmer, which is what I currently use.
