Pro Heat RHP or VE RHP?

what are your thoughts on these? and what one is more solid & reliable to hold the temp better?

I don't know about VE RHP's, but I have 3 Pro Products panels (2 of which are about 4 years old). Pro Products are known to be both solid and reliable. Not sure what the price comparison is, however, to the VE. I have NEVER had a problem with any of the panels, and the temps have been relatively on point.

With that said, I just called Pro Products today because I need 3 new heat panels for new enclosures. Due to supply chain shortages (most likely due to COVID), they are at least 8 weeks behind on orders. And, they re currently not taking any new orders. They ask that you try them again in about 8 weeks. So... if you need something quick, Pro Products is probably not going to be for you.

Hoping to hear other responses... because I too need the heat panels, and need them soon.

I have 3 Pro Products panels and 2 unknown. I like how the Pro Products are low profile compared to the other two I have. I have no complaints with the service of any of them. The other two I have are in my PVCcages enclosures and came with them. I don't know the brand but they are the same style as the VE. They are deeper than the ProProducts but are in taller cages for my arboreal snakes so they work fine.

I'm looking into buying dinner more enclosures and PVCcages is out of heat panels as well.

This thread shows how I mount the probes over letting them dangle.

It's about a 25 30$ dollar difference, pro heat cost more, but that not a problem.
Plus either way I will have to wait. My snake is only a baby 91grams it won't be a while until I can order before she can go into a T10 , but I'll probly order it soon though, wait time is months, but even still, she will not be big enough for it yet.

I also Here that with pro heat the screws go threw the top of the pvc, but they cut it all off, so its all flush? is this true?
Can some one share a picture of the top of the cage?

This is what the screws look like on top of the enclosures. I have a Pro Products heat panel in my T10 and haven't had any issues. Can't speak to VE products but if I had to order more panels I'd still go with Pro Products even with the wait.

Good luck. I don't think they'll take orders now, but if they do go ahead and buy now, so even if you have to wait at least that wait will start now. Also... incase you don't know, if you're going to get a T10, you can have Pro Products ship the panel to Animal Plastics direct, and they'll install it for you. That's what I did in both my enclosures.

Do you know the availability and wait times (if any) for the VE panels?
