New Member and New BP

Hi,


How is that held to the upright portion? Sticky pads?

There are two-sided "sticky pads" on the short side of the mount and on the back of the helix.

Just in case you haven't figured out that mounting stand for the helix,

AHHH! That helped thanks!

I set mine to 92, but my box is only reading 90 right now, is it normal for it to fall below your desired temp by a bit??

I unfortunately haven't done business with him, but he had helped me quiet a bit. I can tell he is a very dedicated guy towards his animals. It'll be a matter of time till the addiction grows on and you'll be getting a handful of animals yourself I bet. Welcome to the site !

Thanks dotc0m, I ordered the helix from RBI after reading lots of posts about how nice Rich is to deal with. It shipped the same day I ordered it... :D

Shh, don't tell my wife that this is addicting!

Nevermind, I had the probe to far away from the center of the hotspot! :D

DUH :rolleye2:

I'll be getting a helix soon and I just had a question. I'm wondering how many outlets it has on it. Is one of those white cords kind of like an extension cord with 3 outlets on it?

Sometimes the temp of your basking area that is actually reachable by your snake is lower than the temp at the heat source itself... I personally shoot for an 88-90 degree basking area. The rack that I have this helix set on has belly heat. On another rack I have that has back heat, I have to set the helix many degrees higher to get the basking temp I desire.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Can someone put a pucture of the outlets and ends of the cords?

Hi there,


I found this really good article on reptilebasic's website earlier that mentions it has 3 outlets. If you were wiring it yourself or using extensions cords I would assume as long as you pay attention to the wattage there could be quite a few units powered and controlled by the thermostat.

This is the link.

I found it via google me - my google-fu may finally be coming back.:rockon:
