I would like some info on radiant heat panels but I am having a hard time finding just the info I want.

What other heat sources are needed with these?

Do they provide the heat gradient that reptiles need to thermo-regulate?

If you have used them before let me know.

I am very interested in getting a cage with the RHP installed but I just don't know enough about them.



I plan on buying a 2X3 cage from reptile basics as I have heard nothing but good things about these people.

If some one could please explain the process of using one of these and how it works I would be very grateful.

Also with the RHP on the 2X3 cage should I use the 40 or 80 watt. I just moved into my house and it has no central air and heat so I don't know how winter will be. I am going to have a radiator heater in my snake room to help keep temps up but I would just like an educated opinion. So that I dont have ot go off my ignorant guess.
