    Yes on/off is fine for RHP, i have mine (reptile basics 40W) going through a dimmer, then into a thermostat as a safeguard, but with the dimmer set to about 75% the thermostat has never cycled off b/c the temp stays pretty constant (jerry-rigged proportional thermostat) of course i check it often, but almost never need to adjust it.

    By the way, not to beat a dead horse (or rabbit) but as far as feeding goes -and it truly breaks my heart to say this - Jordan form HLH is wrong. His videos are literally the reason i got a boa. Though i don't know him personally, i really like him and and his videos but his feeding schedule just isn't ideal.
