flex-watt help

will it affect breeding if one tub is slightly hotter/cooler then another because i have 3 strips of 3 in heat tape wired separately, but put on the same helix and they have different temps. Will this affect breeding if the drops still happen, just a few different temps here and there? If so will wiring them all together fix the problem?

Different temps ??? They all should be the same !

i think what the OP means is there are a few different levels of heat tape? if so, you should put the probe on the top level, as heat rises.

every piece of flexwatt will not be exactly the same temp. how big is the difference in the temps in the tubs?

[tiexecutioner]

not too much, just one or 2 degrees i wireded them onto a complete setup (all off 1 plug) and the temps didnt change much but the top is like 93-94, the middle is 92-93 and the last is 91-92 (About)

try to put the top piece on the bottom and the bottom on the top perhaps it might change some

i cant all are cut accordingly

Also would a strip of 3 in heat tape (belly heat) be enough for a adult female?

or do i need to buy 11 in? if i do can i run 11in off the same herpstat as 3in? or if i do will i get all different temps?

if you used 11" and 3" unfortunately you would get different temperatures. stick with one width of flexwatt
