Re: New member, New to all of this, Another T10 question.
Congratulations on getting your new critter. I have a few T-10s and use RHPs as the sole heat source in all of them. There’s no need for the heat tape imo. I can achieve a good basking spot and ambient temps with just the RHP even during the winter months. I use 60qt tubs for my baby snakes. I like tubs that have latches on each end.

Wen I call pro heat phone number, it goes to an answer machine, and they say they are not taking orders dues to Manufactured parts are taken longer than normal to get or if they even available.... what that said no luck I am assuming.....
Why is Blackbox cages so expensive? A 4ft cage comes out to be over 600$

Can get an RHP from reptilebasics.com.
Depends on the options you selected on blackbox cages. 4x2x2 at $380 bare bones is about on par with most other manufacturers

And these panels can be hook up to an Ipower thermostat? to make it work? or do you also need to order one of those Vivarium Electronics Boxes to run there the RHP?

Re: New member, New to all of this, Another T10 question.
You can always use a uth, or heat tape, and use a CHE as needed to boost the ambient temps. I have several snakes that have a uth only and they’re just fine. I will put an electric heater in the room on colder winter nights. If it’s not unnaturally hot or cold your snake should be fine in most house conditions. The ambient temps in my house range from 68-78 depending on the season. As long as they have access to a temperature regulated hot spot you shouldn’t have any issues.

these AP cages can be use with the belly tape option they offer? or UTH like you mention?
snake will always be kept in my room Ambient temp about the same as what you posted 68-78 but its about summer time, Plus i do have AC and Heater in my house.

Your options are fine. Can't really go wrong with any of them. I only use a RHP (80 watt) in a T10 and have never had a problem with digestion or heat gradient. I don't think there's a need for heat tape on top of a RHP but it can't hurt anything.

The heat tape or UTH will work with the AP cages. You should only need one heat source if your ambient temps are in those ranges. I’ve never used heat tape but I believe it works just like a UTH. You could ask AP to add a screen cutout if you decide to use a CHE to boost your ambient temps later but again I don’t think you’ll need it.
