    They'll make the holes without you having to buy the lights or whatever. Tell them you might need it later but want the hole drilled just in case. Talk to pro products about the cage size, room temp, and all of that. They will know what size panel you need.

    Do you have like a rough estimate or what a pro-products RHP would cost by chance would you? I'm just trying to figure the cost of everything and basically just getting the prices down so I know before hand.

    So what I plan on doing is getting the T8 and using Flexwatt for my basking spot and a RHP to adjust the ambient temps in the cage to what is recommended and I was gonna run both of those off the Herpstat 2. I don't plan on putting a divider in so my BP will have the whole cage to himself so do you think that would work out just fine or no?

    That would be fine but the right sized RHP will be enough. I only have an RHP and it works fine. Ambient heat is enough, as long as there is a hot and cold side.

    I was worried too because my living gets to be around 70 but with the RHPs my temos are perfect in both cages. Ambient never goes below 80 on the cool side and the warm side stays around 92 on the ground and a bit warmer in the hide

    So you use the RHP for the basking spot and just let the ambient heat adjust for the cooler side or how do you have that rigged up?

    Yep. The RHP is on the left side so that whole side is basically a basking spot. The right side stays at 80.

    And I guess during the warmer months you just turn down the temps on the RHP? What thermstat are you using if you don't mind me asking? I'm currently reading through the whole thread so I apologizes if you already mentioned it or something.

    Yep just adjust the temps. I have a herpstat 2 because I have two t8s both with an RHP. The probe for the herpstat I put halfway between the RHP and surface of the mulch.
