Ahh. So it goes inside on the wood then covered by substrate/ melamine?


Edit: read a few care sheets that said 8'X4'x4' Can I use this tank even as an adult if I take her out to get excercise regularly?

The Flexwatt in my enclosures are covered with linoleum glued down around the heat tape and the edges sealed with silicone. Though you could also lay down a sheet of plexi, ceramic tile, etc. on top as I don't think it's recommended to allow your reptile direct access to heat tape, nor do you want it come into contact with water.

So far it sounds like flexwatt on the inside of the wood covered with melamine or ceramic tile, then sealing with a water based sealant. Tanks ready in 2 weeks guess I should start ordering flexwatt on ebay. What size/length do you think is sufficient for an 8'X2'x12" viv? I assume i'll need a rheostat as well? Any specific trusted brand?
