    Heat panel wattage for a 4x2x2?

    I'm getting a dumerils boa soon and have decided to build a 4x2x2 melamine enclosure (they dont sell pvc at any hardware stores near me) and need to know what wattage heat panel to get? I will be buying from reptile basics but their FAQ sheet on the heat panels is confusing me. I think an 80 watt may be good but I would like to make sure before i buy

    I just ordered the T10 last week as well. Pro products told me to get the 80w.

    Ps. BR8080, what's the lead time on yours?

    An AP T8 is 4x2x1 though.....

    I use Pro Products 65 watt with my T8's in a room that fluctuates from 67-72 throughout the year.
