yeah but curbside also sells normal ball pythons for 135 bucks..... that's a rip off....... buy from the bean farm

im not talking about ball pythons, im talking about heat tape. if i was saying ball pythons, i would definately go somewhere else. they are two totally different things, thats like me saying wal-mart is great for buying movies and you saying but the quality of their clothes sucks. stick to the point kai.

If you want to buy from some random guy to save 15 cents on the foot go ahead..... Why ask us where to get it if you've already got the answers

I've purchased some 11 inch from Curbside2go, myself, and that went fine. 
 
Their 3" / 10 watt is $2.15/ft. 

Reptile Basics is $2.20/ft  - but if you're getting 50+ feet, then they charge $2.10/ft or 100+ ft is $2.05/ ft.
 
I guess it comes down to how many feet you're looking at getting and what each charges for shipping. I didn't come across any that sold it for less when I was looking.

Hadn't checked Bean Farm before...theirs is $2.10 / ft for 1 - 49 ft, and $2.05 for 50 - 100 ft.

I know this is vague, but there is a guy who posts ads on kingsnake.com classifieds occasionally, though I haven't looked in a long time: Scott Michaels, DVM.  He was regularly selling heat tape cut to order for a long time.  I bought mine from him a couple years ago, and back in the day, my dad & I bought many snakes from him.  He might post ads under his own name or under Serpent City (or something like that -- don't quote me there).  He's in Chicago.

Otherwise, find some heat tape at your next reptile swap!

...and I also can't remember what I paid.  Sorry
