AP t8 heating suggestions

Ditto on radiant heat panels from pro products. I got a t8 and called pro products and they are shipping the heater to AP and AP will install the heater for free in the enclosure and mail it to you. Around 300$ for very thing plus you will want a thermostat. If you can get all that you really won't have to worry about heat or humidity much again.

Center them. All they are doing is maintaining the air temperature. The flexwatt is more then sufficient to create the hot spot.

Alright, sounds good, I was just concerned it would potentially create another hotspot directly underneath the panel. How does price on the pro products panels compare to the ones from reptile basics?

Just remember you need a T-stat to control the flexwatt AND one for the RHP.

Herpstat makes a dual probe unit and so does ecozone and VE although I have been trying to get specs on the VE and NOBODY has been able to confirm the probe accuracy. I am up to 4 emails now over a 2 or 3 months. No answer from Reptile basics. :mad:

If you buy the appropriate size RHP, there is no need for the flex watt.
