Thanks guys!! I think I am really going to consider the THG heat tape. Like it was stated it was made for the reptile world. Also, thank to for the thermostat feedback! Zoomed is the only brand my local reptile store carries so I thought Id ask. Kind of assumed that I would get the response I did.
I get a,or of stuff off of eBay,if you don't have an account,set one up...definitely worth it..
I have zoo meds mats on both my tanks and with no problems whatso ever
