Hubby has offered to set me up a small cabinet rack system, as there is no more room in our house for show tanks, and I still want at least 2 more snakes at some point.

So finding heat tape in a store here seems impossible, I went online to see what I could find there. I found a website that offeres many different wattages and such and I am back to square 1!! Which one do I need, I currently keep Corns and will be getting into BP's

Thanks for your help!!:)

So looking around online with canadian companies, I am still not finding heat tape, probably due to the regulations. Anyways my options are to see if I can order from an american company.......or

The canadian companies offer the product I will link below, they say it is designed for rack systems, for the size I am looking at it wouldn't be horribly expensive. What do you all think???

Greg west from Cornels world sells it out of alberta.

Or you can check the RC classifieds, it's always on there

The cable is a big NO NO

Ok, I found greg west, any chance you can send me a link to the "RC classifieds, a search with that did not bring up anything relevant.
