Hello! So I have my eye on a BP and have these things on the way or are being ordered.

1. Animal Plastics T8 with divider.
2. Herpstat 1
3. 40 Watt RHP
4. Accurite Thermometer
5. 2 Hides, Water Dish, Fake plants, etc.

So, I only have 1 RHP for the one side of the T8 because I'm only going to have one snake. The other side will stay empty (or ill use it for storage) until the BP grows into it. Then, depending on temps, I will most likely swap out the 40 watt for an 80 watt for the full size of the t8.

My question is, is it okay for the other side of the t8 to be empty (without heat)? Will it cause any temp problems?

I dont imagine it could be much of an issue, but when asking Ali if AP could install the 40 watt for me on the one side, she mentioned that I have a divider, so i might want to go with two rhps instead of one. I definitely trust Ali, so I was second guessing my plan. Lol.

Any advice is appreciated!
