Again, many thanks to you all. And WooHoo!! I just made the committment and purchased a female visual Pied from J. Kobylka. Been wanting this for a while now.

If I may use this thread to ask a different question. I am also changing from my one trusty glass tank to a small RBI rack system. I know the ambient temp of a tank should be 80 to 85 degrees and have a basking area in the 90 to 95 degree temp range. How do you achieve this in a tub/rack system? Do I set the heating portion for the basking temp and it achieves the ambient temp through separation from the heat source?
Grats on the pied. I love pieds.

The rack should be heated with flexwatt. You need a temperature controller to measure and control the heat. The temp controller probe will be placed behind one of the tubs in the rack to measure the hotspot in your tubs. If the ambient temp is not high enough, you may need to heat the room that the rack is in. I use oil-filled radiators to heat my snake room. I suggest purchasing a temperature gun to measure your temps. You can buy them for around $25. They are great for snake owners who have to measure more than one enclosure.
