alright so on wed im probably gonna be ordering a t20 from animal plastics for my retic, but cant decide wether to go with fexi-watt or a RHP.. im leaning tword getting a pre-assembled piece of flexi-watt but i like what i hear about rhps. can i get some suggestions.

also would i mount the flexi inside or outside of the cage? alittle confused about that part so any help would be really appriciated.

If i were you id save up hair more money and buy the 96" model

Retics will out grown 72 in no time and the 8ft helps ensure more stretching room.


and with cages this size if room is heated to a stead 78-80 flexwatt is all you need. RHP work either way but work best in cool rooms.

This one would be better suited size for an adult but could built it WAY CHEAPER.
T70 (96L x 36D x 24H)

yeah i honstly doubt he will need all that room, hes only alittle shy of 8ft and i wanna get it while i have the cash.. hes gonna be a runt and everything iv read says a 72' would work for a male unless they get bigger and should i need to get bigger im sure i can find something else to keep in this nice cage lol..

so a RHP works better in cool rooms? cause my room does stay cooler and 78-80 would be a strech.

RHP do help heat entire cage keeping amb temps up but that will be a trial and error on your part.

my room is useally between 65-70, would flexwat be able to get me a basking spot of 90? im completly new to flexwatt and RHP so im trying to figure it out

[RichsBallPythons]

Room temp that cool id would go with RHP as it will help your cool side temps where flexwatt wont.

And yes in that cool of room heat tape will get 90 no problems

[Muddyredneck]

so then looks like ill be getting a rhp to then, if flex wont help keep the other side right

[RichsBallPythons]

If you still run into temps getting too cool on the cool side with RHP, try to elevate cage as high as you can off floor and or get small space heater to keep room in mid 70s.
