So, I am going to buy one snake soon and keep it in plastic tub.
I was originally thinking of getting Ultratherm Heat Pad but I feel like heat tape would be better since it is cheaper from reptile basics.
I saw many post saying that just for one tub, heat pads are better but why is that? is there any difference between heat tape and heat pads? other then price? Going to use thermostat.
My concern is since my room temperature stays low 70s during winter, I decided to make a single rack for one tub, (picture below, but just one floor instead of two) so I can keep the temperature little higher. I am going to put lid on tub too.
So if I am building this one floor rack, I think heat tapes would be better because I can just tape it on the rack.
My question is that are there any difference between pads and tapes when it comes down to heat transfer? or do they function exactly the same? which would have more effect on ambient temperature when its the same size. I know they effect very little but I just want to know. If they are the same, I don't see any point of getting Ultratherm heat pad unless it can give better heat? ambient heat? w/e
picture is not mine, just from random person.
