I bought some 3" heat tape with metal clips, plastic covers, and the wiring which was already connected to the metal clips. I clamped down the metal clips to the side of the heat tape, clipped them inside the plastic covers and plugged it in, but the heat tape didn't heat up at all. So I took the plastic covers off and and used pliers so squeeze the metal clips to the heat tape down as hard as I could, thinking that they weren't penetrating the heat tape enough. But still no joy. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? I need this to be working ASAP for my new geckos that I just bought! Thank you!! I'll attach pictures so you can see the set-up.
