I'm trying to build a snake rack, I'm good with everything but the heating. I was going to use flex watt heat tape but what I'm not sure about is the herpstat. Hard to find videos on it but not sure what to get. All the ones I'm finding are $135-200 and up. Is this the one I need to use or is their other ones that will work? Any other opinions sor heating before I pick everything up? Was planning on having 5 or 6 selfs using rubber made, starlight tubs. Please help, thank you!
 
I will post pictures tonight of what I just set up. I used THG heat tape however as from what I read its better.
 
These seem to be the only pictures that turned out. It really is simple, yet time consuming to do this.

As for thermostat. I order two of the Herpstat 2's as they suited my needs. All you need to do is pick the one right for you. Follow this chart here http://spyderrobotics.com/home/products.html

Hopefully you can find one that works for you. If you are uncertain, you cannot go wrong with the Herpstat 1.

Oh and if anyone is wondering, these bin are roughly 36"long X 12"wide X 13"tall and are for snakes up too 4 foot in length.
