did you use this technique? so the heat tape would sit on that eucaboard?

actually i was going to use that method of rack system, but i decided to go a different route. But yes you can put the heat tape on the pegboard with no problem. Just make sure the pegboard is secured well because it will bow.

Here is that rack system i went with...

cant i just lay down aluminum tape on top of the board, and then place the heat tape on top of it, then tape the sides down with the aluminum tape? will that cause it to bow as well?

and i wanted to go with the sterlite 1754 (15 qt tub) where would i find that at ? or a rubbermaid 15 qt draw? which is shorter?

 

[danny662boy]

would this be a good rack then? depth wise for a draw?

what size/wattage flexwatt to use for a rack? for leos? 3" 6 watt per foot? or 3" 10 watt per foot? http://www.reptilebasics.com/flexwatt-heat-tape/

 

[Imperial Geckos]

i would go with 3" 6W per foot

 

[danny662boy]

does it matter what brand 15 qt tubs i use? do they have to be high? or would it work better with more floor space?

 

[danny662boy]

would this be a good rack then, to cut down http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-5-Shelf-Shelving-Unit-Light-Platinum/8282891

hold on lol I'm lost. So your going to go with the rack that is built from a shelf right? If you are i would just go with everything the instructions say, and in that rack they use small kitty litter pans or sterlite 6qt tubs.

well ya i might get a sterilite rack, from walmart website... just wondering where i could get 15 qt tubs.. i dont wanna use small ones.. the sterilite 1754 were discontinued, just knowing where to get them? or use the rubbermaid containers that replaced them, but those arent as high, but have more floor space?

That IS an interesting idea. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I need a quick hatchling rack.

Target has them (15 qts). Or you can go to the container store and buy (Iris Brand) Mens Shoeboxes.
