Alright I just put an order in for a T8 which will be here in 3 to 4 weeks. what types of heat panels or heating sources can you buy, I called pro-products and left a message but wanted to see what other options there are out there.

Where is a good place to buy the thermostats? online or is there local stores like Lowes and Home Depot that sell them.

Seriously thank all of you again for the advise and help.

You're making a great first start with the T8.

The only other company that comes to mind for Radiant Heat Panels is Reptile Basics. However, they are listing their heat panels as "out of stock"....you would need the 80 watt unit from them. I would stick with Pro-Products personally, no one ever complains about them and Bob will talk you through exactly what you need....but probably a 65 watt unit for a T8.

I like the recommendations on thermostats given thus far. They do not sell what you need at home improvement stores however.
Here are some great places to buy quality units:

I personally only run radiant heat panels as a heat source, it's a good idea to have flexwatt but I have not found it to be necessary thus far (this is what Bob at Pro-Products recommended and so-far so good in several years of ownership). That's just what I do, mainly because I bought everything at once and was looking to save cash where I could lol.
