    Using heat tape instead of heat cable in Vision rack

    I'm finally getting around to moving my snakes from a T8 into a Vision rack. I havnt been very happy with the heat cable system so far. Very uneven heat and when I check with a heat gun only the very back couple inches of the tub are near 90°. I havnt added any substrate yet but plan on using sani chips so I don't know if that will insulate the bottom more.

    Does se anyone with the vision racks use heat tape instead of the heat cable? Ambient room temp is 76°. Thermostat is set at 101° and heat gun registers between 86-91 degrees in the hot spot. Too much fluctuation for me.

    The specific rack I am talking about is the 1756 32 quart model.
