Yeah I use the 1500 watt Pelonis one and it is plenty for a 20x20x10 room. I actually keep it at low power with the t-stat set to half on really cold days. Otherwise it turns the reptile/tv room into a freakin oven haha.
I meant 50-60% inside my house not their enclosure. Lol Higher home/starting humidity seems to make the issues more likely whereas arid areas with lower home humidity don't cause the issues. The humidity inside the enclosure doesn't seem to be the cause.

I have a 1500 watt Pelonis in the smaller snake room and it seems to be about the limit for that room. On colder days the temps drop. If it's 40 or above it's almost overkill, but on the average winter day it's just enough or barely enough. The room the Pelonis is in is 8'x8' I think? Or 7'x7'. Something close to that. It's probably more due to an insulation problem than anything. I had to stuff a blanket in between Dominika's T12 and the walls to keep the cold drafts out of her enclosure.
