I'm getting a new enclosure and I thinking of just getting the RHP w/ no Belly heat. I like the idea of using both, but i don't like the idea of buying another thermostat to keep both under control.

I contacted Pro Products about their RHP and their take was that reptiles are used to having an above radiant heat source. They said that heat from the surface is foreign and isn't all that important.
Now... obviously just they are trying to sell their products, but it does make sense to me.

So I guess my question is does anyone have a tank adequately heated with just a RHP? Since It would be controled by my Herpstat the temp would stay consistent.
