Yeah, I saw that.... I literally bought one of the 60x27 ones 3 weeks ago, just got it a week ago.... Bummer. I need to call them and do some sweet talking for a second one. Might I highly recommend the Kane heat mats.... They're tough.

Are you using plastic bins for your roaches? If so which heating pads did you order?
Thanks

Yes i use plastic bins for my roaches. I ordered two of the flukers jumbo heat pads because theyll fit under the bins perfectly.

tyler, those kane pads look pretty intense.

They're really nice... It's about 1" thick or a little more, and came as a massive sheet (not folded up). It makes no heat on the bottom of it, so all your wattage is aimed up, at the animals where you want it. I put it in one of my outdoor winter tortoise houses and keeps it toasty in there. Shipping was a little high ($39), but they don't bend or anything, so they're nice for heavy traffic (in my case, 60-100lb tortoises). If I was using it for a roach bin, I would have gotten something cheaper, or just the 11" heat tape is what I used to use.

I know a lot of other heating mats are not safe for plastic bins, but I really couldn't find anything saying either way for the Flukers Mats. Have you used them in the past?

ive never tried the flukers ones before so hopefully they dont get as hot as the zoo med ones ive used. The pads i have now are small and get really hot so i layer a towel underneath them. The flukers pads say they run at 100f so i would imagine by the time they absorb through the plastic bin it'll be around 90ish.

Heat Tape is cheaper depending on your situation. I've found the best place to buy it is:

Just remember to buy the clip sets and a rheostat too.
