Heat tape suppliers?

[BBotteron]

So I'm actually picking up the supplies this weekend to build my snake rack. Which I'm thinking probably around 6'L x 4'H so of course naturally I'm looking at flexwatt/heat tape whatever it's called. And just looking around I noticed every time I look at the reptile basics page they out of stock the past 2 weeks. Is it worth waiting for them to restock at less than $3/ft or is anywhere close to the same price? I've seen others but come in around $5-$7/ft

RBI sells THG heat tape. the Bean farm carries the Flexwatt brand and the 4inch heat tape u want is $2.40/ft or $14.40 for the 6feet u want. Bean farm are good folks, they are kinda local to me and i see them at all the expos.

They also have the connectors to go to each level instead of 4 separate outlets? I'll get on both and look at stuff. I've heard a few things about the bean farm so they must be a popular choice

RB looks to be in stock right now? I've got a basket full of the stuff since I intend to build a juvie rack next week.

I just found and used the Serpentarium because RB was out of heat tape.

Very happy with their service. They will wire it up too if you request just like RB.

these things?



they sell those connectors, clip sets, wires and pre-wired clip sets. i parrallel wired my rack myself and they sent me instructions (or u could download them on their website; or watch youtube vids.). i took the challenge to do it, it was fun and satisfying. i didn't even need a crimping tool, just a vise grip. i u don't wanna run separate pieces of heat tape, u can just run one long 6feet piece of tape connected to 1 wired cord.

Edit: also both RBI and Bean Farm even sell pre-wired long strips of Ultratherm heat pads, but those can be pricier.

I'll add - Serpentarium sells the same tape as Reptile Basics (the THG tape). In fact, that's how I found them, they were listed as a vendor on the THG website.
