the flexwatt size you prefer and why?

I like the 4" because of thw lower watts per foot. 3" is kind of thin and the 10w can get really hot if something fails. I've tried the 11" in an incubator and it actually smoldered or caught fire. The tape turned to ash and the bottom of my incubator melted. 4" seems to work the best for me.

Really!

Even with a thermostat? I check on my 11 inch heat tape everytime i enter the room( well, i only use it so i check up on all of the snakes heat), so far it has been fine.
