That is the reason they are not getting satisfactory results. The panels were designed to run in the 170-190 range. Trying to control the output temps to 130 or lower renders them useless. But what do I know? Im just a guy that has 7 cages working flawlessly while some want to argue the relativity of nature lol. Best of luck my friend and please be careful of the bias views of some you find on this site. Just because they cant get theirs to work correctly doesn't mean the product doesnt work. Remember, its not about their egos, its about your animals health!!!
How do you mount your probe?
Do you have hides under the rhp?
What temp hotspot are you creating?

I have bloods, brb, and a gtp using rhp. They do not require a very warm hotspot so regardless of where the probe is I don't have to get much heat out of them.

You stated alot without giving any helpful hints to the op, like how to setup the probe.

I personally mount mine like this. They are stuck to the non heated rim of the rhp and do not contact the rhp at all. Like Kite said the snake should not come between the probe at any time and I like to put it where they are the less likely to ever contact it at all.

I Never said they didn't work only that I don't believe they are the best choice for a terrestrial animal. For a arboreal animal my choice is a rhp every time. It works great for my gtp.

They may also work better if the hide that they are over is not that deep. Mine is over a cat litter box about 5 inches deep door my blood. It nicely heats the top but from there to the ground it loses to much heat to work well for her.

What is a good single cage thermastat that y'all have found dependable?
Most of us use foil tape. Just try to keep the tape on the edge of the heaters and not on the dark color heating element for the best results.
