BP tank set up + accessories

[dakski]

It seems like that's good as long as you're using a reliable thermostat (they can also be doubled up to reduce the risk of overheating). What's the tape for? Tape shouldn't be used on the inside of the tank as it can get stuck on the snake and cause problems. Also, do you think you're going to need 2 heat mats? Are you going to put one on each side to control both the warm and cool side temperatures? If so you're going to need two separate thermostats.

I will add that you can get a thermostat that controls more than one device instead of two separate thermostats. That might be cheaper, but I am not sure.

Either way, get one(s) that can handle more than a small heat mat down the road so you can use it when you upgrade to the enclosure.
