I don't coddle people.
I don't waste my time with niceties.
I provide solutions.
I share my experiences.
I've trial-and-errored it for years, I know what works.
I honestly could not care any less that you're offended by my posts.
I know my ****.
I have experience.
I TRY to help.

People don't want advice anymore.
They know better than everyone.
They want Yes Men.
I'm not your Yes Man.

It's really about the animals, not your feelings.
I don't care about you.
I want your animals to be happy and healthy.

You hate me?
I don't care.
But listen to the advice that I give, some of it's helpful.

can we make this a sticky but remove the "I's" and replace them with "We" im sure no one can misunderstand that all the tips are in good faith, and have nothing to do with what the person asking thinks or feels about the situation, its 100% about the snakes health and its not a sick joke to hurt the snake and the owners feeling at the same time. both these guys know their stuff, its for the best to listen to what they say, you can try to investigate for yourself to prove them wrong but in the end i would bet my right arm they are right.

Did anyone even read my last post?????? The tape is not on any wires or anything electrical. Its on plastic!!! Read!!! Plastic with tape on it has no way of harming anything, simple as that. Just because you guys have been doin it for years, dosent mean you know every single thing about everything, so give it up, stop trying to be a big shot.

I will not agree and say im wrong. I know two snake breeders, one has a reptile store here. They both do it the same way, they are not wrong .They are very successful, selling snakes, and keeping snakes. Still see no problem putting tape on the bare plastic part of flexwatt.

Well if you don't care about their opinion, why are you still posting on this thread? Just do it how you want and move on. Not being an @$$, just saying that it seems like your mind is made up, what's the point of keeping this open?

tuct tape!cant go wrong with tuct tape

Basically, the aluminum tape is for HVAC applications. I agree electrical tape is not sticky enough. Nobody is saying do not use tape on the flexwatt, just not the aluminum tape. It is a conductive material, and even if you use it on the sides electricity does arc. A safer route might be masking tape, or duct tape even packing/sealing tape. Better safe than sorry wouldn't you agree?

tuct tape is so much more sticky that duct tape.

i used duct tape to apply my heat cord and a few short weeks later the heat melted the glue enouph to make it fall off the bottom of my tank, Tuct tape on the other hand is so Good, its still on their as good as the day i used it. super sticky

I'll have to look for it around here. I've never heard of it.

good idea. and yea its on the plastic and not on the wire but even if you decide to not change it. it may be a good idea to maybe seal it so it cant conduct like paint over it or maybe use some of that electrical tape to cover it up
