>>If i gave two 2' lengths of heat tape wire together to a thermostat. Will they both be the same temperature? or has anyone tried this. to me it is the same as having a 4 foot length. this would not be the inside of cage
I haven't wired two pieces of heat tape together, but I have connected multiple separate pieces to the same thermostat. In general, I find that there's always a difference in temperature from one piece to another. It seems to be related to how solid I managed to get the connection from wire to the heat tape. Maybe I'm just wiring it wrong? In any event, I usually wire up several pieces, connect them to the wall, and then see how hot they get. I'll pick pieces with similar temp and connect them to the same thermostat.
