I am looking for a heat pad to heat a large rubbermaid. I was looking at the Zoo Med ones that are solid black because that is what I have always used. Today I saw an Exo Terra one that was clear and had black stripes, kinda looked like heat tape. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has used the Exo Terra ones because it is cheaper and cheap is a plus. Any feedback would be great.
Thanks

Exo Terra work fine when hooked up to a reostat, however I am using the large heating pads for most of my snake enclosures.
I have about 8 in use now and have had no problems whatsoever.

I will be using heat tape for my racks systems though.

It looks like heat tape because it IS heat tape. Why not get some heat tape and save yourself a buttload of cash. All those UTH's are are a piece of black rubber over a slice of heat tape and VOILA!! Quadruple the price.

I have used one small one for about a year no problem.
