Replacing my RHP seeking brand recommendations
Sorry if I do this wrong it's my first time posting.
I bought a pvc enclosure from pvc cages back in 2019 for my ball python. It's 36x24x24 with an 80 watt rhp. Lately I've noticed the enclosure is just NOT keeping the temp above 84. We've had our apartments heat cranked and a space heated nearby to compensate but with summer coming soon its just not gonna work anymore.
First I had thought to replace the tank with a smaller 36x18x24 but I guess pvc cages doesn't exist anymore? And reptile basics which I'm pretty sure is the one I have is out of stock of rhp.
What brands of rhp will work with my vivarium thermostat (ve 200)? Thank you!!

Pvc cages is no longer in business. Any RHP will work with your thermostat. Pro Products is another option besides RBI for an RHP.

Perhaps you've already done this, but it would be worth troubleshooting exactly what has caused the apparent change in performance lately. To my knowledge, RHPs don't wear out over time (though they can fail, of course). Thermostat/probe issues, thermometer issues, etc might be playing some role.
