Animal Plastics, Economy Rack questions!

[The Serpent Merchant]

Hey Guys!

So I figured I might as well get a 4/8 rack.

I found Animal Plastics and looks like most everyone loves their quality of work.

I just had a couple questions:

I am using zilla temperature controllers for each of my tubs, will one of them work for the entire rack? Would it matter where I put the temperature probe?

Also, my room temperature can get as low as 55 degrees, would it be smart to ask them to have a 2nd row of heat tape in the front area and have the cool side heated to 80 degrees for the cool spot?

How well does humidity keep in the Economy racks?

Thanks!

A economy rack isn't going to work for you, and just trying to add a second strip of flexwatt isn't going to do enough to fix your issue. Flexwatt does not greatly change the air temperature in the tubs. even if you can get part of the tub floor to 90 degrees, and the rest to 80 degrees the air temperature in the tubs is going to be too cold. If you are really wanting a rack, you will need to heat the room that it is in with something like an oil filled heater to at least 75 degrees.

Your best bet would be to get a PVC cage (I prefer the Animal Plastics T8 and heat the cage with a Radiant Heat Panel)
