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.

LittleGrayTiger	Can heat tape be installed anywhere other than the floor? So that's my simple question: can heat tape be installed places other than the floor? I'm working on some multi-unit tower cage designs and am trying to price out different options. I have a way to install heat tape IN the wood cages without contacting the snakes on the floor, but I am wondering if heat tape can be equally effective in the walls or ceiling. Cages floor-to-ceiling in blueprints are all 12" tall except for the bottom; those are 20" tall. Foorprint is 48"x18". There will be two towers with a bolt-on corner piece (For moving and short walls); some snakes will get all 14ish feet of floorspace with basking zones on the outside ends while others will be divided off for 6 or 8 square feet of floorspace. Species definitely to be kept are: Boa constrictor imperator, Baird's ratsnake, Baja Gopher snakes, Black Pine snakes, and Beauty snakes (still deciding subspecies).
