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.

plastic cage, flexx watt, go together??
I have 2 cages made of pretty durable plastic. I think they may be older Vision cages. I am setting them up and want to use the most simple of heat sources for under the belly heat. Can I use flex watt, under the tank or in the tank and if So how do I attach it?
Can I use a Zoo Med UTH on the plastic cage?
Please reply and thanks for your time and opinions.
Mike

I use 11" flexwatt under my plastic cages. It is attached with foil tape around the edges. I have my thermostat probe inside of the cage taped down in the center of the heated area. I use the t-stat to control the heat tape, but check the temps on top of the paper with a IR temp gun.

I'd go with Flexwatt if I were you, simply for the fact that you can move and replace it easily. I used to use the stick-on type UTH heaters (still have a few) - they are a pain to unpeel and replace if something goes wrong with them.
