Is Flexwatt or THG stronger than ultratherm? Would it even make a difference, since they're all set at 92 or so on thermostats? :sOriginally Posted by Eric Alan
I never had any problems with the UTH heating through the bottom of my T8s when I had them - I used Flexwatt and THG though, not Ultratherm.
For ambient temps, I was just fine without anything extra, but I had good control over the temperature of the room they were in. Others have found that they needed to add supplemental heating, like RHPs, to raise the ambient temps a few degrees. Like many things, the answer is "it depends".
I'm looking to set up something long term that can maintain their hot spot and overall temps through the seasons, because I'm unable to just control room temp for them. Would I need to combine an ultratherm UTH with a ceramic heat emitter inside the T8? (Is that how that works? How does it work? LOL)
I'll look into RHP's too! But I'm not handy at all and have no idea how drilling even works.
ETA: I'm ordering ultratherms or some heating source for the snakes right now on reptilebasics. I'm trying to plan this all out and get everything I need at once, at least for awhile
