Very nice! As far as heat, how is it with just the RHP? I'm wondering because I have yet to buy heating for my 2x2 Boaphile. I know it's a much smaller enclosure but I was curious. I'm also planning on getting large Boaphile cages in the future.

works great, i have the top of the fake wood branch set to 92, the rest of the cage just happens to stay in the 80's, getting cooler the further away you get, at night even with my AC down to 69, the cool end of the cage stays in mid to upper 70's. I leave the heat panel on just in case.

definitely put the RHP on a thermostat though, i tried it w/o one and the floor was sitting at about 102

Thanks! I was thinking of just going with only a RHP. I just don't know if it will be enough.

If you mean only rhp and no flexwatt, I would say no. rhp is more for creating a basking area. U can get away with not having rhp but always have belly heat
