Hello Everyone,
All of the racks we currently use are heated with indirect heat tape. Our snake rooms are kept at 75-78 degrees. We are looking to buy some more racks and would like to hear what you all think. Pros and cons, which are more safe, more economical, etc.
Thanks in advance,
richard@cbballpythons.com
They work about the same, although you spend less money with cable both in cost and electric, but the heated area is smaller.

I just did this research over the past few weeks.
I am going to use cable on my next rack.
It was suggested that you router a little ditch across the back of the rack shelf & then use aquarium glue to keep it in place.
Most all agreed that cable is most heat & energy efficient way to go vs. flexwatt tape.
The cable can be purchased on any of the sites that advertise on this forum.
Good luck & post pix when you are done.
