REPTILE BELLY HEAT!
 
The VAST MAJORITY of captive REPTILES (Snakes/Lizards/Turtles & Tortoises/Crocodilians) need some
type of Belly/Back Heat or Basking Light (or BOTH) to survive AND DO WELL in the captive environment. As for
herp food, more and more Roach breeders are using under-tub heating to improve production.

Cutting to this listing.... 

Please read the WHOLE listing, then read it again. A large percentage of questions asked through the messaging
system are already answered here in the listing. Often I answer the query almost verbatum to what's written here.
If after reading it twice, if you still have question(s) then by all means, send me a message. Thank you...!

This listing is for HEAT "TAPE" 11 inch wide/23 watts per foot for making Heat Pads for Belly Under-cage heating. Or, for back-heating in rack systems. Or for Incubators. Or for Roach tubs. It's not really "tape", but resembles tape. Brand of product is THG-Heat. It is sold by the linear foot, in 1-foot increments. It is superior to "other brands" primarily associated with its LACK of "hot spots" cropping up in the older more "well known" brand, that I TOO sold for many years until recognition of the "hot spot" problem became apparent a few years ago. It's a quality-control issue. I ALSO STOCK 4"/6 watt per foot, but as of 11/22/17
we're out of stock until approximately mid-december. It's manufactured in S. Korea and still back-ordered from
the importer. Once it's again in-stock I will create a separate listing for it.

Mylar Heat Tape must be wired to an electrical cord using Metal Clips & Insulators, in order to work.

I offer Metal Clips & Insulators in a separate listing, please 'click' on my other items to find this listing. **PLEASE NOTE: Clip sets ship FREE if shipped WITH a heat tape order.** That's a huge cost savings for buyers who need
both heat tape and clip sets!

HEAT TAPE: Sold by the foot, in 1-foot increments. No fractional footage; if you need for example 2.5 feet, you'll need to order 3 feet. It's easy to trim to size once you receive your order. PRICE: $3.95/foot

U.S. sales ONLY, please. TOO expensive to ship internationally!

SHIPPING is extra, as follows:

Postage is $4.25 for first foot, plus $2.00/ft for up to 3 feet; 4 to 7 feet adds just $0.25/ft; 8 feet plus adds just $0.10/ft. It sounds complicated but I'm NOT looking to make money on shipping. A single foot ships flat like a large photograph, First Class for $4.25. Between 2-20 feet ships in a mailing tube which costs $1.25 (bought in bulk in
36 tube cases from Quill); those orders ship Priority which starts at $7.15, but goes up depending on Zip Code zone. Orders 2 feet and under ship First Class Postage (2-5 work days ship time); orders 3 feet or more ship Priority Postage (usually 2-3 work days ship time). Ebay takes its 10% cut off shipping, too. So my shipping cost structure is VERY fair. There's no cheaper way to ship it. Flat rate envelope is too small, and flat rate medium boxes too expensive (about $13.50) EXCEPT for orders over about 40 feet. Ebay doesn't do very well in calculating shipping so I will either need to send adjusted invoices, or refund cost overages after orders ship. After, because I don't know exact postage until we're at the post office. Please allow me 24 hours to issue refunds. It'll usually be refunded the same night as the day it ships, but not always. So again allow 24 hours. Customers are more than welcome to have me quote the exact cost of any order by sending a message, prior to making that order. This, however, will not negate the need for me to issue adjusted invoices and/or refunds. This covers about everything on shipping.

IMPORTANT! HOW TO ORDER, it's easy::

Place your order for what you need. Place the number of feet needed in the box. Don't worry about EBay over-
charging on shipping. I will issue A REFUND of all shipping overcharges, usually the same day order is placed.
If you order clip sets & insulators, they'll SHIP FREE with the heat tape.

WIRING SERVICE:

We can do the connection and wire a 6' cord to your heat tape. No fancy custom wiring jobs (ie, wiring several
separate panels in series). Just simple cord-to-heat-tape connections. COST for this service is $3.00 labor + $5.50
for 6' cord, metal clip set, and insulators = $8.50 total. After you place order (but don't pay yet!), SEND MESSAGE you would like this service and I'll add it to invoice as miscellaneous expense.

I have been selling heat tape for almost 30 YEARS, I (and my retired father) have wired in excess of 15,000 separate connections to date! I have VAST experience USING as well as selling Mylar Heat Panels. I will sell you ONLY what YOU NEED, no more to "pad" the order! But you have to do YOUR PART and COMMUNICATE YOUR NEEDS, type of reptile (Python, Boa, Leopard Gecko, etc.) you want to heat, kind of cage (Aquarium, Sterilite Tub, etc.), other pertinent information...

You may contact  AFTER PURCHASE, if you need help working with Mylar Heat Panels: Scott 847-293-7087
Please no texting just to avoid ebay message system, that is the preferred way to communicate. Thank you!

Thanks for your attention, and maybe your business!
