    I know these things about the temperatures. My preference is to keep ambient at around 80 as well but, as I said, cooler temps have hit

    Ok now we've talked about a lot of things that aren't radiant heat panels, does anyone have a solution to my actual question:

    Can they be mounted on a glass cage setup?
    i'm trying to help you get set up with proper equipment since your snake does not have adequate heat OR equipment. an RHP needs to be regulated by a thermostat as well and i don't think a Jumpstart will cut it (EDIT: nah it would work, but i use a Herpstat regardless)

    the only radiant heat panel i know of that is mounted to a glass enclosure is user Mr Sully's quarantine tank with a Pro Panel RHP on top. my RBI RHP needs to be mounted with screws, which i use for my PVC.

    I definitely planned on getting a more expensive thermostat for my RHP. It seems silly to have a top of the line heat setup with a not great thermostat.
    but I guess what I've learned here is they're not compatible with glass cages. I shall investigate other options

    glass isn't the best at keeping heat in, so you'd be wasting a lot of energy/electricity trying to keep a glass enclosure warm with an RHP. that's why you don't really see it.

    Please get a thermostat ASAP. There was someone who recently had a snake thought got burnt. Just trying to save you the trouble of a vet visit.
