Hi!
I want to build a new plastic rack, but I'm not sure about the right size and the right watts of the heatstripes:
Our shelf is 77 cm (wide) x174 cm(high) x 31 cm(deep). It's an open, wooden shelf from IKEA where we can have 7 levels per unit.
As boxes we use the „Terry lightdrawer“ (www.terry.it) in size M and XL:

http://www.terry.it/ita/catalogo/hl_prodotti.htm?tipo=hl&cod_collezione=C000008

Size M (cm): L 29,6 cm. x P 39 cm. x H 16 cm
Lize XL (cm): L 59,6 cm. x P 39 cm. x H 21,3 cm.

I'm looking for a mat where we can heat our leopardgeckos with as less watts as possible to get the right temperature they need. What would be the best size and watts to heat this rack?

Thanks alot for reading and help!

/Rebecca

Id get heat tape if you can find it there and the 3" is 10 watts, you will just need to figure out how many feet you need and then you will need a tehrmostat to control the heat.
