    I am LOVING my LED lights and the AP T8! They were easy to assemble and simple to install!

    No, it's not mandatory. You mainly want to seal the bottom since if there's any water spills, it's not going to leak out. Also, it makes sure that any faeces won't get stuck in the cracks.

    I don't have any T8s yet, but I'm saving up to get one for my future boa. Thanks for the great write up!

    In the process of setting up an undivided T10 (3" taller than the T8) with the ap flexwatt and single fluorescent lighting. Also have a 40 watt RHP arriving this week. Will run the flex and the RHP with a herpstat 2. Flex probe attached under cage in groove. Questions are:

    1. Is it normal to have to set my herpstat around 102 to achieve 90 on cage floor with no substrate?

    2. When RHP arrives, should I install it over hot side or center of cage?

    3. Where's the best location to place RHP probe?

    I do plan on using an inch or so of aspen so I don't want to crank up the flex too much and my floor get too hot in case she burrows. That's why I'm installing the heat panel to help with heat and ambient temps. Room temps are fairly cool year round ranging from 72 summer to 66 winter.

    Any helpful suggestion on this set up please.

    Got my 3rd enclosure from Animal Plastics (T10) and noticed that the bottom now has three different cuttouts for probes. Thought this was pretty awesome! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...1e541cc000.jpg
