ok so i called a large breeder of the species along with the breeder i bought them from and i have never used heat tape before so they both said heat tapes fine as long as i can achieve the right temps with it...now heres my question they both said keep the temps around 78-84 and i read on a website that somebody keeps a hot spot of 90...so i'm confused did they mean set the heat tape to stay at 78-84 or did they mean make a hot spot of like 90 on the heat tape but keep the air temps between 78-84? like i said i just ordered my heat tape and just got a little Alife thermostat thats the on/off type nothin fancy but will do the job and have plastic tubs on the heat tape another question is that i have the thermostats and thermometer probes in the tub taped to the plastic under the bedding this tub that both of them are taped in i dont use that tub so i have no concern of water spilling on the probes or anything i just cant seem to find any useful info on where to put the probes and what temps i need for gabbys and rhinos anything helps thanks!
