    Radiant Heat Panel suggestions?

    My heat panel creates a perfect hotspot and gradient in my cage so I don't have to use any other heat source. I have my Herpstat set to 77.5 with the probe on the cool side. It makes it 80 degrees under the cool side hide and it's 89/90 on the hot side. So I'm very happy with the temps. BUT I did have to fiddle with the thermostat quite a bit to see what would give me the perfect gradient. But I finally got it just right at 77.5.
