Question on T8 with UTH...

[redshepherd]

Heat tape gets very hot.
My UTH pads don't. I'm not sure they would effectively heat through anything but glass or thin plastic.

Would they not be the same in the end, since they're set on thermostats to keep the same temps?

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).

Is there a guide on setting up RHP's? I see them on reptile basics, but unsure how they work or are set up. I see that they're usually drilled/locked in place on the ceilings inside T8's. Would it be possible to use RHP's with plastic tub setups for now? Would putting the RHP's on the floor of the enclosure be harmful? (I'm guessing it is harmful)

I'll look into heat tape, but also not a single clue how to set up heat tape either haha. x_x Is there a guide on that?
