Hey peeps, looking to pick some brains. As a tortoise keeper I have zero need for, therefore zero knowledge about under tank heating pads and or heat tape/rope. However..........
I have started a colony of Dubia Roaches to breed and feed my Chameleon and my box turtles. These roaches won't breed until you get there temps up to 90 degrees. I have a Rubbermaid bin set up and need to either mount a under tank heater to the side of the bid or some heat tape to the side of the bin.
I kind of like the idea of the tape because I can hear a larger area... I can wrap 3 sides with tape. Has anyone used heat tape before? Is it reliable or will I need to be replacing it all the damn time?
No matter which route I take I'll have it hooked up to a Zilla t-stat.
