    Thermostat setting, etc.

    I recently setup a home made rack with flexwatt tape and a Ranco ETC 111000 thermostat. I have found that the 3inch tape runs much hotter than the 4inch tape for starters. I have the thermostat set at 91 degrees F with a 4 degree bracket to work within (keeps the tub temp at about 89-90 for the BP). Is the 4 degree differential OK? Since it is a normal temp room in the house the coolest part of the tub is around 75 degrees. I hope this will be enough to breed these guys. Any thoughts.

    Right now 75 is still kinda low. For my temp cycling for females i keep room no lower than 78 at night and 81 during the day.

    Theres 2 diff flexwatt 3" at 2 diff wattage's. Either way they do run hotter due to being smaller ie less space for the power to travel, thus heating faster. As long as you can maintain a 90-92 inside the tub ur fine

    If your room get too cool then you can use a space heater to heat the air in the room!
