I love my T8s. I'd highly advise investing in the RHPs. I have UTHs on my colubrid enclosures and their ambient temps are still in the mid 70s during the winter months here in the Southeast. I have UTHs and heat bulbs on my carpet enclosure because I have 2 of them in a split T8 and chose not to invest in dual RHPs at the time. As they grow I'll move them into A20s (4x2x3) and I plan to use RHPs exclusively. I had AP install the led lights. I got 2 cages with red leds and 2 with blue leds. I wish I had all red ones. I've always called them to communicate and always received great customer service. I've only had my cages for a year so I can't speak on their longevity but they're very well made and I don't foresee any problems. I know other keepers that have used AP cages for longer than I have and none have mentioned issues with warping. I'd give AP cages 5 out of 5 stars.
