Radiant Heat Panel vs Flexwatt
Hey guys! So I'm making the jump into Boaphiles Multi-Unit Stackable housing, and am torn between having them install the radiant heat panels, or the Flexwatt. From what I've read, since I plan to use Cypress Mulch as my substrate, I should go with the radiant heat panels, as Flexwatt can have difficulty heating through the substrate?
Does anybody have any advice they'd like to share on the topic?

Why not have both? The RHP can heat ambient air while the UTH can be used as a hot spot.
If you're going to pick one, i'd go with a radient heat panel.

I can definitely get both! Just didn't want it to be too hot. I do plan on using a VE thermostat though so that'll maintain my temps. Thank you (: I just want my boys and girls healthy and happy!

Yup, use both. As long as you have separate thermostats and probes for each heating element it should be fine. There are some that power multiple elements but they have to be the same kind of source I believe.
