I have my lights on ESU T-Stats and the belly heat I have on a Helix dbs1000 which I love and think is awesome.
My house stays about 78-80 in winter and 70-75 in summer and belly heat is not enough winter or summer.
Hope this helps.
I have had my ap set up for over a year now.
Yes, my house has similar temps. I spoke with Matt (Justcage) and he recommended both the panel and the belly heat. He said the panel will raise and provide for the target ambient temps while the belly heat will provide for the basking spot.
He also suggested the Herpstat 2 as it can control both devices at once. So I will be purchasing a Herpstat 2 from Matt today.
Next week I order my T3 from Animal Plastics and then only a few more things to get. Then hopefully by the 3rd or 4th week in August or early September I'll be getting A'kashja from Adam!
Thanks all.
Re: Heating/Thermostat Question
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! My Herpstat 2 came! Looks great! Can't wait to get it all set up with my new little one coming in August. I'm keep everyone informed and after the cage is all set up (I still have to order my T3 from AnimalPlastics) I'll include pix.

Great breeder and great name for your new one! Is that a male or female? What kind are you getting?
Sounds like you've really been doing your homework!!!

It'll be a normal (hopefully odd patterened) female. I've wanted a BP since i was in grade school. I'm 32 now! My parents never wanted a snake in the house. So now I have my own house! LOL
I've been researching for so long....I'm just ready for the practical application now. My Pro Products Radiant Heat Panel came today! Now I just have to order substrate (ReptiCarpet) and Enclosure (AP T3). I have plenty of hides and a pe-2 temp gun, hemostats, accurite thermo/hygrometer, and plenty of research! I'm rearin' to go!
Can't wait for A'Kashja to get here! By the way thanks for the props on the name.
