Enclosure for Boa

[CALM Pythons]

Thanks for pointing that out I will most likely get the T10. How exactly is the RHP used in a cage like that? Or does it go on the outside? How does it attach? Where would I put the probe for the RHP? I have been using the temp gun pointed at the substrate and about 1/4 inch away from it. I will go home and measure it on the glass. It's so much better now that I know my snake won't cook when I'm not home lol.

Im glad your understanding.. Sometimes writing makes it hard to describe everything hahahaha. A UTH always goes outside no matter what type of enclosure. With that said your Probe always goes between the UTH and enclosure. The PVC enclosures (at least AP as thats all I have) has a place to run your wire/probe and Heat Tape. I guess id call it a little indent so its more flush if that makes sense. I always use Metal Tape (foil tape) for Heating work to attach UTH/Heat Tape etc... I myself only use a UTH on my quarantine tanks... As far as my Displays i only use a large RHP.
Some of these things are preferences. I have always gone up One size on a RHP from what recommended because I run 24/7 Central air and my home heat goes low at night because I cant sleep if I'm warm. The larger RHP has helped me with that.
Another thing that has helped me is putting the RHP about 8 inches over from the interior wall of my Hot Side.. I was mounting them 1" away from Hot Side wall and my cool side temps were too cool when the house dropped at night to 60... Once your home goes below 68 the Hot side is ok but the cool side (2ft away in a 4ft enclosure) drops to about 73.5/75. Thats not terrible but remember thats even when im running a larger than recommended RHP. This is why some people run a UTH and actually use the RHP to get a warner ambient for the cool side etc.. In that case you can also run the RHP on the Cool Side on a lower temp (78/80) as I do in 1 of my enclosures because my bottom enclosure RHP provides the Basking on the Hotside floor above for my girl who spends all her time in the Cool hide anyway.
This is why its important to decide whats best for your situation. Only you know your home temps etc.. Also of you use a Snake Room, you can use just a UTH and use a electric Oil heater to heat the whole room to 78° 24/7. This a great idea if you have a Xtra room dedicated to Reptiles only.
