    Possible Upgrade

    Welp, I pulled the trigger on the (above) Reptile Basics order. Am I missing anything?

    Nice! You should be really happy with that setup. You may not end up needing the heat tape if you're running a RHP. What's the ambient room typically kept at? It may be worth setting the cage up sans snake with just the RHP to see what temps are like after a couple of days, and then you can always install heat tape if needed.

    Great info!

    Yea, after reading up on the RB set ups I was actually doubting the need of heat tape. They seem to be very well built and hold temps. like a champ.

    Room stays around 75/76F at all times so I may be okay.

    Thanks so much for the insight! You just saved me about $250!

    I'm late to the party, but congrats on the newly purchased setup! Monty is going to be a spoiled, happy little snake.

    Also late to the party but wanted to say I love my Reptile Basics cages. Currently have four and probably switching out my current cages for these in the next couple of months. Super easy to clean, smooth texture so everything wipes right off. I also like how well they stack since they come with these discs that keep them from sliding. That’s just extra info for when Monty has friends.

    If your room temp stays 75/76 degrees you will be fine with just the rhp. That is how mine are setup and temps are perfect.

    Congrats on the new cage and equipment.

    Awesome! Always good to hear positive feedback, especially when I just dumped a few coins into the new set up. And yes, Monty will absolutely be getting at least one friend. I've got my eye on a black-eyed Lucy.
