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.

Hey Nicole, How is the heating on the rack? I understand that Jeff uses a lower wattage 11" flexwatt that is sandwiched in between two pieces of plastic that are glued together. Does it get hot enough? How hot does it get if you plug it in direct without a rheostat/thermostat to keep temps low. How hard would it be to rip the back off to replace the heat tape if for some reason it shorted out or developed cold spots? I would love to be able to throw out all of my current racks and go with light weight plastic ones, but the cost to replace everything is sending chills down my back so I want to make real sure that these are what I want.
Mark

There's a decent enough gap in the back to allow for good airflow, to help cut down on the chance of a short. It looks like it would be easy to replace, but should the need arise, I would definitely contact Jeff first for a few tips on removing and putting the back on. I have my leos and corns in right now, with the heat on a rheostat and it works just fine. Directly plugged in it got a bit too warm, but thats because my reptile room was about 73 to begin with...come winter it should be just fine.

Hi Mark!
Those are good questions! It is possible to replace the heat tape on these enclosures, but it is an absolute chore that would involve talking to Jeff on the phone and him telling you exactly where to cut. We really don't think this will ever become a big issue.
We do suggest using a boaphile rack with either a Rheostat or Thermostat as the temperatures that the tape reaches may be too hot for most reptiles. We use the lower wattage heat tape to hopefully avoid tragedies, but it is far safer with a thermostat.
Let me know if you have any more questions or if you would like to make an order!
