    Pvc Enclosure questions
    I wanna get my Ball python jeffree a pvc enclosure but I have a few questions for those of you who have them before I make the decision. I've seen a few pictures from people who have them and I never see heat lights or che how are they heated specifically the ambient temperature also I've seen that people use flex watt (heat tape) for belly heat would a UTH work as Well? Another question is 48 X 24 X 12 too big for a bp if so what size is perfect for a bp for a life time ? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

    I use radiant heat panels from Pro Products in all my enclosures.

    48"x24"x12" will be fine for an adult bp

    good luck.

    Do radiant heat panels provide ambient?

    What do you use for the belly heat? Also is a herpstat probably the best thermostat for that

    i use both a UTH and the RHP since i already had the UTH for him. technically if i upped the ambient temp from 80° i wouldn't need the belly heat, but he's spoiled.

    both UTH and RHP are regulated by a Herpstat 2

    the ventilation is perfect. the only hole i needed to make was for the thermostat probe for the RHP.
