You're making a great first start with the T8.

The only other company that comes to mind for Radiant Heat Panels is Reptile Basics. However, they are listing their heat panels as "out of stock"....you would need the 80 watt unit from them. I would stick with Pro-Products personally, no one ever complains about them and Bob will talk you through exactly what you need....but probably a 65 watt unit for a T8.

I like the recommendations on thermostats given thus far. They do not sell what you need at home improvement stores however.
Here are some great places to buy quality units:

I personally only run radiant heat panels as a heat source, it's a good idea to have flexwatt but I have not found it to be necessary thus far (this is what Bob at Pro-Products recommended and so-far so good in several years of ownership). That's just what I do, mainly because I bought everything at once and was looking to save cash where I could lol.

Yeah, I am a very anxious person. 2 heat elements for hot side = overkill, but also protection if one goes out, plus I like belly heat for snakes. I also have redundant thermostats on all my heating elements. I want to sleep at night!

As I stated, not saying my way or the highway, just what I do. Good to know an RHP works well for you though KevinK, and you have AP tanks.

I would note, and it's minor, RHP's heat the air way better than UTH heat alone, but also dry the air a little bit more. They are not bad at all, and do better than most heating elements out there. However, having both a UTH and RHP running probably drys the air a little less.

Good luck whatever you decide! Again, awesome snake and awesome owner for doing what's right for him/her.
