So, I was looking at custom enclosures for my boa when she gets older, and in general for the two boas I'm looking at getting in the next couple years. All together I would be ordering a minimum of 3. Possibly 4 to start out with.
But I wanted to get some information or feedback on whether having RHPs installed would be better than having UTHs installed? If I have one RHP installed in the hot side, would that be sufficient to heat the entire enclosure? And how does that differ from belly heat? Will an RHP suffice and allow my snakes to digest properly, etc? I don't know much about RHPs really, and before shelling out almost 3X the cost of an UTH, I wanted to know if it would be enough?
If anyone can offer insight, that would be great. I'm looking at ordering from Boaphile Plastics, and will definitely have this conversation with the owner before buying too.
I will also probably be getting racks from him with flexwatt already installed. I'm loving that.I have a few more questions about thermostats and monitoring the heat in racks, but I'll post a separate thread for that.
