    As long as it's the right size. It won't anything for ambient temps so that's something you will want to consider. I believe most people would suggest flexwatt if you don't use an RHP

    Yes, I've ordered a RHP for ambient heat. I see a lot of people discussing FlexWatt, and wanted to be sure existing UTH is ok. Its the right size

    If you have an RHP you won't need a UTH unless the ambient temps in the room where the cage is get very very low.

    If you set up a t8 correctly with hides, would it be too large for an adult female ball python? I know the larger the space, means more stress, but my girl never leaves her hides. Just looking for opinions.

    Thanks,

    A T8 is perfect for an adult female or male. It won't be too big

    Great looking setup! What LED strips did you get from Lowes? Looking to get myself a couple T-8s soon and would rather have LEDs with color changing options rather than just red or just white so I can change them for day and night viewing. Thanks!

    I have the Sylvania brand led strips. Pretty cheap and have a good mix of color options and you can dim them too

    Question re: installing the LED strips. I just received my T8 and want to install them. AP did cut the channel for them for me but it's a pretty small channel and from what I'm finding online the strips are going to be too wide for it. So if I just install the strips normally how do you do it? Do you just stick them on and not worry about them coming off or do you actually glue them down? I don't want them to fall down and have it possibly stick to a snake. Suggestions??
    Thanks!
