    Does it come with a thermostat? If not, you absolutely NEED one before you hook it up at your house. See the following link for what happens without a thermostat:

    And here is a link to a thermostat from Reptile Basics, a company many of us know & love.

    Good luck!

    It doesn't come with a thermostat, but I had definitely planned on buying one for the rack before using it, no worries

    You might have to retape the flexwatt down. It could just be the picture, but it looks like the seller just taped the corners. You need to tape down all sides to allow smooth movement of the tubs otherwise you can damage the flex.

    The overall rack looks pretty good. I would take it for that price.

    And since you're bringing home new snakes, don't forget to quarantine them away from your established snake. This will prevent the spread of potential illness or mites.

    I'm not sure. Here's their contact page. http://www.reptilebasics.com/index.php?p=contactus

    Just call or e-mail Rich. You'll most likely hear back from him today - he's a really nice guy.

    Re: Price of rack?

    Okay, thanks! What kind of tape do you use to re-tape them? More flexwatt, or..?
    And they will be quarantined at my boyfriend's parents house before they move to my boyfriends house where my normal will be moving to soon.

    Not exactly. Flexwatt, although called "heat tape", isn't really tape. It's more like heating elements inside of a plastic sheet. Use aluminum foil tape to tape down the edges - you can find it at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc... Do not use duct tape, or anything similar - I've read the heat can melt the adhesive and make a pretty nasty mess.

    the first one I bought was $200 with tape, and no bins, as well as no thermostat/probe.

    second one I bought was $150, with tape came with 4 bins, which I've replaced, and he had a thermostat/probe with a heat pad. So, I think I've done well so far.

    The only thing i have to add is i just bought my foil tape from RBI. But you can probably get it at lowes/HD like he said^
