Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

heating tubs
Just wondering what was the more popular heating source for tubs out there. I have a homemade rack and each tub has its own heat pad from PETCO. I'm thinking of expanding with a few more tubs and just want to know if there is anything that is more recommended than what I am using now...

I use 4" heat tape in my homemade racks, sandwiched between layers of thin steel to protect it from wear and backed with reflectix insulation. Rich at Reptile Basics is great for flexwatt, and if you buy the connectors he's happy to hook it up for you free of charge. Fastest shipping of any company offering flexwatt that I've experienced, too.

Thanks Brian...
What size do you all think I should get for the 34 qt tubs? I was thinking on getting the 4" but wasnt sure if it should be 12" long or 16" long?
