plastic caging questions

[BIGBUD98]

So I've been researching plastic cages and I really like boaphiles and animal plastics (421D and T8) and I was wondering which do you like better or is there others you would recommend over those. Also I'm not sure if I should use a RHP or a flex watt, my house is around 70 in the summer but gets under 70 in the winter. This is for a RTB too.
Thanks in advance

Animal Plastics is the way to go. Boaphile cages are of lesser quality, and their customer service is terrible. They won't return your calls and you will be lucky if you can get in contact with them at all. AP on the other hand is extremely easy to get in touch with and is a much better company overall.

How far below 70 does your house get?

A 421D or a T8 really is too small for a full grown RTB, a T12 or larger cage (ideally a T25) would be far more appropriate.

the temperature doesnt get below 65 and on average stays around 68

I would start with just flexwatt and 2x fluorescent light fixtures. You can always add a heat panel later on if needed. Both the flexwatt and the heat panel will need their own thermostats.
