Thanks for the reply, descriptions and your comments.

I am just getting restarted in reptile breeding. I have an old rack system that I had built about 12 years ago and at that time there was no mention of back heat. I use the old heat tape that was designed for wrapping water pipes to avoid freezing in the winter. (What a pain to find back then in Phoenix, AZ anytime of the year). The shelving was grooved in the rear and I then covered the groove with tin sheeting to disperse the heat evenly over a larger area and avoid direct contact of the heat tape with the plastic shoe/sweater boxes.

I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to start all over again.

I will only need to replace the old dimmer switches with something more modern and reliable.

Your help was invaluable.
