So I've been out of the hobby for awhile and finally have time and space to get back into keeping herps. I'm having a look at substrate heating and wondering what experiences people have had with 220 volt flexwatt vs heating cable? The 10 cm 220 volt flexwatt is running about 25 watts per meter whereas a 5 meter single strand heat cable is 25 watts in total, so if you're building a multi-unit sweater box rack, you're going to end up with a spider's web of cables and plugs to max out a 600 watt thermostat with heating cable to get the same wattage as flexwatt. I tried some internet searches for seed raising heat cable, but those prices seems even more expensive than the herp stuff, but maybe I'm missing something?
Anyway, I'd appreciate any comments or advice.
Cheers!
