    Re: Flexwatt or RHP, which is better for a plastic encloure?

    I have an Animal Plasics T8 cage that utilizes both flex watt and two 40 watt RHPs. The cage is currently divided, one RHP on each side with the 11" flexwatt installed under the middle of the cage. With a herpstat II controlling each heat source, in a room with temps that fluctuate from the upper 50's to the upper 60's this time of year, my ambients fluctuate between 76 and 80F. The RHP has a significant effect on ambients in my set up as opposed to the flexwatt which probably doesn't do anything for ambients. This specific set up represents my entire experience with UTH/flexwatt, RHPs, and pvc enclosures. I have ordered a t10 and will use RHPs, flexwatt, and herpstat again, hoping for similar results.
