Re: Who makes the best display tank?
I have two Boaphiles and they're great :gj:
I use the 2x belly heat plus radiant heat panel. They are installed on the same side, so a single thermostat can control them both. Humidity is awesome, and cleaning is easy.

Man... it was hard for me to get the 1 thermostat that I already have $:($. What brand do you use?
As you know, the winters are cold here and I'm afraid of having a tank that's too cold so I may use your same set up (except in a T3).
However, I couldn't get into your review of the RHP for some reason...
if you get a chance I'd love to know what size? and where you bought your RHP?, as well as where? and how it's mounted in your cage? As well as where your probes are placed?
Sorry for all the questions I just trust your set up the most since we have the same climate and this is my first winter w/ my BP. If possible I'd like to duplicate it.:please::please:

This place sells alot of nice looking cages and I considered buying one from them until I realized my cousin was married to a carpenter :) I use a homemade wooden enclosure with plexi front doors and a RHP. It holds heat/humidity great!

Disregard all those questions, I finally managed to get into your review and they were all answered there. Thanks:gj:
You did say in your review that the RHP was on the warmside of the cage. Did you change the placement? or was that a typo?
Do you have the rectangular screen? or the two circle cut outs on top? I'm assuming you have 2 helix tstats.

I tried to search for that review also but I think it may have been trashed. I'll see if any moderators know how to get it back, if possible. This is who I ordered my RHP from: http://www.pro-products.com/. Since my cage is much larger, I don't know what size panel you will need, but I called them directly, described the cage, what was being housed in it, etc (they will ask you a bunch of questions about what the average room temperature is, what other heating you are using and so on)
I'll see if I still have the pics of my setup on my camera or on disk and I'll repost them for you so you can see what I did.
I have a Herpstat controlling the belly cable and a Helix that controls the RHP. I actually just hang the probe down the cool side of the tank through the ceiling cutout hole. It is actually just hanging straight down, but it is almost touching the floor, where the snake is. It is only measuring the ambient temps on the cool side and since it hangs in the cage, my ball can bump it with his head or body and it will still hang in the same spot. Give me a couple days and I'll work on getting those pics up for ya.

Yeah the RHP is on the warm side because I was going to try heating only with the RHP and not using the belly cable, but I never got around to testing it out. I have one circle cutout over the cool side, that I regret getting, but have since covered it with the cutout piece from AP and have covered the entire top of the cage with hard foam insulation to help prevent heat loss.
