[Wanted] Custom Heat tape job!!!

I have 3 of the racks (pictured below) that I need heat tape for, only problem is I need to make it that I only have 1 electric cord for each rack not one for each self. I honestly can’t deal with 9 different cords and then I would have to go buy more thermostats and that’s just not in my budget right now. I have seen people do this before but I am no electrician and I would rather not kill my Leos in the spring. If you have experience with heat tape and know how to wire the shelves together or even if you know a company that would do this without costing me a fortune please message me.

You could always just run back heat... measure top to bottom, and get one piece cut to go down the back of the rack. Then just one plug.

I can do it all for you if you supply the heat tape and extension cords. Just pay shipping my way and back and ill solder them to the size you need to one extension cord.

I also pm'd you.

Let me start by just saying wow… I got a lot of responses with so many people willing to lend a helping hand. I took some measurements and I need a total of 9 strips of heat tape that are about 9-¾ inch long and I was thinking about using 4 inch heat tape. So that would be three groups of three. Special thanks to RichsBallPythons for supplying the picture. That’s exactly what I want done… So any way with so many people offering their service I was kinda stressed about whom to contact to do the job. So with the info I gave, if you would be interested in helping me out, could please send me a quote with what you think if you did the heat tape what supplies and shipping would cost… If you need any other info on like measurements or anything just ask and my zipcode is 17745 for shipping info.

Like i said Order all the flexwatt you need and buy the extension cords. One you have all that ship them to me and ill solder them together for you free. Just pay shipping there and back.

USPS priority box for 3-4" heat tape fits in sm box thats 4.95 shipping.

That rack isnt good for reptiles. When I first started out i tired them but if you look closely at the edges reptiles can get out. Putting leopard geckos,fat tails, cresties ect may lead to an escape. Just trying to save you some time searching

Id have to disagree. I have kept and bred Leopard geckos in these with NOT one escape. The tubs are too talk for leopard geckos to get too since they dont climb or jump

I can't tell you how many times I stared at these things while buying totes and sweater boxes for my other reps and supplies and thought there has to be something I can use them for. My mind was stuck on snakes and I never once thought to keep my leopards in there. The other poster is right. They dont jump, they dont climb, those drawer systems would be perfect for me. Thanks for the inspiration! lol

The only thing you might have a problems with is crickets escaping. I use feeding tongs though. Depending how many many eggs my females lay at a time, I like to keep the sets together once they have hatched. Just don't do what I did the other day. I was putting a case of 1000 crickets in a tank and the one side popped open and like 200-300 crickets escaped. I almost had a hard attack. I started yelling ''We have Escapees, Help Escapees.'' and my mates came running down the stairs. It was so funny.
