    Heat tape?

    Is there a way I can control the temperature of the tubs in racks while using heat tape without changing the type of tape I'm using?

    You are using a thermostat with your heat tape, aren't you?

    If you are not regulating with a thermostat, I hope you don't have any animals in the rack yet.
    If you do, unplug the tape.

    Then dont forget about QT of at least 90 days but depending who and where your additions come from 6 months could be better as well as all your other expenses.

    I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you that:
    A-) Breeding size animals, even normals, are EXPENSIVE
    and
    B-) It takes years for BP to be big and mature enough to breed.

    Put that time in and do research - a lot of it. I'm not trying to be mean, but it really sounds like you need it.

    I have done my research. Not saying I am an expert because I'm not but I have researched for about 5 years. 4 before I got my first and only snake. And a year of experience with him I hope to be breeding by the end of next year. It's just I don't know why but I just can't seem to figure out heat tape lol. But I think I have a good understanding now. I just have one more question and I'll be posting it in a minute.
