This again...

I only know of a handful of places I can buy heat tape by the foot as a consumer. Reptile Basics is one of them and I believe the other distributors I can think of might even be buying it from Rich. At the end of the day I'm buying the tape I have access to. If you both decide to go separate ways, bear this in mind.

Rather than going back and forth about who lied about what, I would urge you to attempt to repair relationships and provide the consumer with the safest and most functional product for our particular application. If there is a choice, I'll take safety over functionality any day of the week. I'm sure everyone here can agree they would not want to be responsible for someone's house burning down simply because they want a lower-profile or unique element to their product to distinguish it as 'better'.

I do have a question for Rich. I have an Animal Plastics rack that is grooved for 4 inch Flexwatt tape. I would like to replace my tape once a year or so. Will your THG tape fit the groove in my rack the same as the Flexwatt or does this put pressure on the Rack manufacturers to conform to one tape or the other?

Thanks.
