Just got my T3 on Saturday. Got it all set up and it looks great. I have the belly heat option but i do not have it on yet. Right now I only have the radiant heat panel on and I'm trying to raise the ambient and cool side temps. The RHP is on and I feel heat from it. However, I have the probe for it on the other side of the cage so that once I turn on the belly heat I have a nice gradient and nice ambients as well. However, I was wondering, how long does it typically take a cage this size (36x24x12) to heat up to the appropriate temps. Seems like a very slow process so far. Its been going about an hour and the temp on the t-stat and accurite has only raised maybe 3 degrees.

Can any one give me any ideas?

Thanks.
