Its attached to the inside top of PVC enclosures. Generally they are used as a hot side heat source (sometimes as the sole heat source).

Most definitely. In fact its often recommended to use a decent thermostat like a herpstat to control one. I am going to have to play with the probe when I get mine because I want it kept at a low temp so most likely the probe will be just below to RHP

The taller three foot you have - is that 15" or 18"? I'm thinking 15 might be just right...a little more headroom for exploring and ease of cleaning, but not so much as to be a waste.

Also seconding the LED options they are VERY nice, no hanging wires to worry about or naughty beeps climbing onto light fixtures. Probably one of the better investments I made. Totally worth the extra expense!

Question for AP & Boaphile owners...are the dimensions external or internal dimensions? Just so I measure my space out appropriately.
I can only speak for AP cages but the dimensions listed are exterior. Interior is roughly 2 inches shorter depending on the model. For example my T12 (48x24x24) interior height is 22.5 inches.
If it helps I'm using a divider for my little beep who is 159 grams and he's doing absolutely great! Eats, sheds and poops/pees. Like Tttaylorrr said the key is making sure your bp feels secure by having plenty of cover and minimal open floor space. Just remember the biggest threat to a bp is being attacked from above and being exposed in the open with no shelter. So make their travel path from point A to point B feel like a safe one.
For my cage I sectioned off various areas to appear smaller and more cramped with lots of clutter. He also has 5 hides. It's more work but I have no doubt a 300 gram bp will do well in a divided 48 long cage when set right.
