WHAAAAAAT

That’s whack! Have you tried Reptile Basics THG heat mats? I have been using the same ones for over a year now and haven’t had any issues. I love them so much that i bought 3 more for my newbies. Also, have you been using the same thermostat? It could be the stat thats giving you problems in combination with the mats.

Aw crap i always forget you aren’t in the US. They are cheap as crud! The 3 i just got were $27 including shipping compared to $40 each for zoomed, etc. Im not sure if they ship out of the country though :( :( maybe try Bean Farm? They sell flexwatt which is similar and maybe they will ship to you?

Ive asked some facebook groups (which are undoubtedly primarily American) if anyone knows a place in Canada. I’ll let you know if anything turns up.

Thanks! You are a sweetheart!

Damn those groups on fb are great despite also being filled with jerks. First, Bean farm will ship to Canada. They don’t assemble the heat tape for you, so it was recommended that you check out youtube for how to connect flexwatt. Second, http://cornelsworld.com/product-category/heating/ has THG connectors and heat tape for sale. Im willing to bet if you spoke with the guy who sells it (Greg) he’d be willing to wire it and send it to you since he also manufactures enclosures. In case you didnt know, flexwatt is matting made for plants that people also have successfully used for reptiles. THG is specifically designed for reptiles though. I’d email that second suggestion first and see if you can work something out. I tried wiring my own once and it worked, but it was a total pain.

I highly recommend Greg from Cornels World. I've gotten heat tape from him multiple times in the past and have had no issues whatsoever.

That girl is gorgeous, I adore that contrast!! Best of luck with her this year!
