In my experience animalplastics cages hold heat very well. I dont know about the flexwat because they wernt designed for it. I would reccomend just going for the belly heat. The temperature of the rack depends on what you set the thermostat to as well as the temp of the room you put it in. You can have a hot spot of 100-105 if desired but you can also have one of 85 if you want to. I also have a few of the terrestrial and arboreal cages. The T1 which is a 2*2*1 terrestrial cage. if i have a 60 watt day bulb on the cage i have a perfect hot spot for my ball pythons. the arboreal cages are great too. i have two of them. one 2*2*3 for my 4 cresteds. and one that is 2*3*2 for my 2 gargoyles. I have only needed a 40-60 watt day bulb to keep about a 78 - 80 temperature range for me in the top half of the cage for my rhacs. if you wanna know more in detail just call the store yourself. you probably wont get a hold of mark himself. I didn't. but you will talk to either Kerry or Ali. They can answer all of your questions. Their number is
