What RPH is more efficent?

I have two pro heat RHPs in my T8s and I like them a lot. I've heard the reptile basics ones are just as good but the pro heat is about 3/4" thinner than the reptile basics panels. That makes a decent bit of difference in a cage that only has an inside height of 10 3/4" to begin with. Regardless of which panels you end up choosing I'd also have the panels sent to Animal Plastics and they'll install them and cut a channel for the power cord for no charge. Well worth it in my opinion. Just call AP and tell Ali that you're having RHP sent there for your order and she'll get you all squared away.

And that's why your retic is always pushing!! She is boycotting that RHP. She wants a nice 90F spot to curl up on and power digest the food!! Heck I think Caesar is going to bumped up to medium rats soon. I feed him 2 chicks or 2 quails or 2 small rats and the lump is gone in 2 days at the most and he is out looking for more dinner Ok sorry to hijack the thread, just had to make fun of Jmcrook a minute

Hah she's got a perfect 90* hot spot and uses it for like an hour after eating then sits at the back of the cage to digest. As for power digestion, if she cooked those rats down any faster she'd be sh***ing out the head of the rat as she's swallowing the tail lol!

I agree, Bob is quite the salesman and also a long time reptile owner but like the others mentioned, if you can ignore the sales pitch he has some valid points.

I've found he is BIG on UL, ULC, & CE listed products. He has a valid point in that every electric appliance, tool, etc. in your house should have that listing. That being said he also recommends the simple stats found on Amazon that surprisingly default to the "on" position, because they are UL listed and the more expensive Herpstats aren't. Personally, I'll take my chances with the Herpstat because it defaults to the "off" position and there's no risk of a burnt snake or worse yet, fire.
