I'm thinking of using heat tape, the kind sold by the foot, in my reptile room, now that I have all-metal shelves set up for housing turtle enclosures. Does anyone have a good link or article on how to use this stuff? It sounds econimical, or at least will take up less outlets in a room, if I can connect three layers of shelving to one outlet, or this this a pipe dream? I know there's some way to attach a thermostate to it. I'm a dunce when it comes to electricity (damn good with dry wall repair, though), so the more detailed the information, the better.
