I use both the RHP and the heat tape because one creates ambient temps and the heat tape creates a hot spot.

You can either get the Flexwatt heat tape included with the AP terrarium or you can get one whatever size you want from reptilebasics.com I hope all of this makes sense. Lol.

Here's a great thread on Animal Plastic terrariums:

Okay, so if I were to go with a herpstat 2 (definitely leaning towards this) I could hook one channel up to the RHP and one to the heat tape? I guess with never really messing around with heat tape I'm kind of unsure of how it works. Does it require any self wiring or is it pretty easy to hook up? Another question I have...is the redline feature for herpstats all just aesthetics? Thanks again for everything! You are a life saver
