Is this sufficient or do i need under the cage heat and then use the RHP for the gradient? BTW, I'm using cypress mulch for substrate and humidity is 67%.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
In terms of footprint, 9" out of 24" is a little more than a third which is not oversized.........however........

With that height of cage, that wattage may not have enough horsepower to get you to 90 degrees.

How long have you had the panel running full blast?
