OK, Yes my flexwatt is taped exactly as yours -The Serpent Merchant. As for the mode i'm in it's Dimming. And I have to be honest and say I'm not sure about the power output. If thats the number on my herstat 2 thats in parenthesenext to the temp it's reading 105.5 and the target temp that i have set is 105.1. also so everyone is clear I have NO snakes in my rack yet and will not till its perfect and been running acouple days at temp. I love my BP's and don't want to harm or stress them in anyway! just so we are clear lol. I'm lookin at the owners manual for the Herpstat now to figure out power output. I will try to plug my flexwatt into wall and see how that goes now. And thank you guys so far for all the help. Makes me feel good knowing people out their care!!!!
