I have one rule in life that applies here. I don’t trust anything the government tells me. It’s not a coincidence that with all these “technological advances” we are also seeing cancer rates at higher levels than ever before. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they knew it caused health issues.

Like when everyone knew about the dangers of smoking cigarettes all those years ago ?
I use a heat panel in conjunction with heat tape. Both on the hot side. All my heating devices are controlled with Herpstat thermostats. I think it really matters where you live. I live in Alberta, Canada and the winters here get cold. Heat tape doesn't do much for ambient temps so I have no choice but to heat the objects in my enclosure with the heat panel which heats the air. If i had a dedicated snake room that I could heat to the proper temp for ball pythons I would ditch the heat panels and just use heat tape.
Unless your house stays at a consisnt 75-80 degrees all year or you have a dedicated snake room you can heat separately I think a RDP is needed with heat tape. This is what worked for me.
