    Re: Question on T8 with UTH...

    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
    I'd get the THG heat tape instead. It's cheaper and will work just as well with a good thermostat.

    In regards to additional heating, it all depends on the room where your T8 is. I'd recommend Radiant Heat Panels (RHPs are available from Reptile Basics).

    You dont need to be handy. Just need to create a U shape hole to feed the cable through.
