Re: Animal Plastics and Flexwatt
Pro Products heat panels rock ... they mount inside of the enclosure, provide steady, perfect temps (when used with a thermostat) and are completely safe to the touch.
No need for a heat shroud that takes up cage space or a CHE that can burn skin and/or scales.

I am thinking of changing over to a Pro Heat Radiant Panel on a thermostat for the cool side soon. From what I've read, it should work as well as the Flexwatt, if not better, due to the thickness of the AP plastic. "
Ahhh...... yeah, a little misleading;) . Let's hope he isn't intending to use the RHP as a UTH.:)

I just read this thread again and finally realized what I wrote made no sense! I knew the RP doesn't go on the outside of the tank, I don't think I was thinking straight, sorry for the confusion. Thanks everyone for all your help!!!
Re: Animal Plastics and Flexwatt
My set up has the belly heat and the radiant heat panel in an AP T3 and it works great. This set up was recommened to me by Adam and Matt cosigned it! It works fine and I haven't had any temp or BP problems! LOL
You must use a good TStat though. I use the Herpstat2 as it can control 2 heat sources with different temp settings.
