Survey of heating your racks

[Wrightsnakes]

I was just curious what certain people prefer on their racks. Figured I would do a little survey. Do you prefer underbelly heat tape placement, placing it vertically down your whole rack, or no tape and keeping the ambient temp up in your snakes location.

Use to be belly and back heat.
Now heating whole room and using belly and back in cooler months.

Belly heat with back heat on standby for when the ambient temps fall too low.

i run heat tape at the back of the rack for belly heat.

One thing g I dontunderstand, is why companies use 3 or 4 inch tape on 41qt racks. Unless the room is heated, that's not enough. Why not 11 or 12?

I have room heating + for the adults belly heat, for the hatchlings back heat.

Why do you think it's not enough if those companies have been successful doing so?

Our room is heated to 78 all year round with belly heat for all racks.

78-80 ambient with belly heat. I run 3-4 inch tape on my larger racks with no issues.
