I mentioned in a post the other day that I was going to record a video of what temps unregulated heat tape and heat mats can reach as a resource we can share to those who don't believe that it gets that hot.
I only had a few on hand to test, but I tested out an Ultratherm heat mat, Flexwatt 6" heat tape, and what I think is the smallest ZooMed heat mat (5"×4").
I ran them 5 minutes, then read temperatures, and ran another 10 with 1/4" glass over top and measured the ZooMed mat. It could have used more time to heat up, but even on that brief time the small one cleared 100.
Here is the link to the video:
