racks and heat ?

has any one thought of uesing heat cable in a rack ? you know like the stuff to melt snow on your roof also would it be bad to make a rack with glass tubs ?

p.s. im from Canada ... heat is needed lol

I think heat cable is what people use in racks. But you need to use proper reptile heat cable bought from the petstore.

Heat is needed no matter what, because you need a hot side and a cool side for your leos in each tub.

I don't think using glass tubs is bad, but plastic tubs are probably lighter.

Racks are generally used for breeding mostly. It isn't really fair if you keep tons of leos in little tubs that are too small. If you were going to be keeping them in there long term, I would look for pretty big bins.

I asked about racks a few months ago, here is the thread if you want to look at the answers I got: http://www.leopardgeckoforum.com/t648-housing-geckos-in-rack-system

They call it flexwatt, and it's the go to heating source for any large scale heating.

i got a nice stereo stand with glass doors and i got my hands on some windows that were in grate shape so i made some rather large maybe 15 gl or better glass vivs to fit inside the stand i just wonder if i could ues a thermostat and some heating cable for use in heated floors it looks super easy to work with, i have no reptile stores in my town and dont wanna travle unless i have to has anyone thought of somthin like this or am i just cheep lol

No, most rack systems all run on one thermostat, and each viv has it's own thermometer to check it's specific temps. This is really only recommended for experienced large scale breeders.

Though, I do caution you against this. Pro Exotics just lost 3,000 animals to an equipment failure in their warehouse. So, go ahead at your own risk.
