flexwatt heat.

I can't take the credit for the information, but I can take credit for being the best Google searcher in the West. It's amazing how much information is available at your fingertips if you just take the time to look for it (and have a clue about the information you're looking for before you get started).

This x 1000%. Information overload can be dangerously overwhelming, but keeping these amazing animals doesn't need to be as complicated as some attempt to make it out to be.

OP - if you were able to wade through all of this information and still have questions, you're still in the right place to ask. Please don't hesitate to do so.

I totally agree with this. I appreciate you outlining everything so clearly and being so helpful with this Eric. Gio is correct - this is exactly what I was trying to convey.

I will add that the idea of a space heater is still an alternative. An RHP, as I said originally, is certainly not a bad idea - not at all. The space heater is simply a different way of doing things and is also not wrong or unnecessary. I do have some concerns that an RHP will provide adequate heating if the room temps are only around 60. That is quite low for boas. But it could work - it all depends on your caging and the wattage of the unit. I would suggest to the OP that if you decide that is the way you want to go, give a shout to Rich at Reptile Basics, or talk to the folks at Pro-Products, to ensure you get the right unit for the job.
