The RHP is on the far right side. The temp probe is placed just to the side of it against the wall and is about 4" above the floor. The ambient temp at 4" above the floor is 81f. From what others have told me is that the RHP will be hot to the touch and would only burn by leaving your hand on it. This should not be a problem for a bp since they don't hold to the ceiling of the enclosure. Mine is 2' tall and she rarely gets anywhere close to the top.
