I've used heat cable before for a dubia colony I use to have and I used in unregulated, pugged right into the wall and it ran just fine and never melted the tub or cooked any roaches. From what I've been reading it sounds to me that an unregulated piece of heat tape will without a doubt melt the tub and kill the occupant...

I would never run any kind of heat unregulated with my reptiles but at the same time if something were to fail I would much rather have the warm and angry snakes, little burn mark on something, or toasted plastic instead of a full on fire and dead animals....

But I'm not completely against using it. I would just run a double thermostat or something so I could sleep well at night.

While I'm asking rack questions, who heats their reptile room and how?
