What size RHP is installed. I’ll be honest now I’m asking more out of concern because I’m setting up very similar set ups and I have never used an RHP. Where is yours positioned ? How does it give such a wide range. Do you mean right under the heat panel is the high range and then the other end ?

What happens when you lower the therms down to get the warm side say 90... what does the other side get to?

My thought would be lower it and keep the high range down and have the cool side cooler for what you said the snake can move but you don’t want it too high and force it to the cold side that could cause issue. Sorry I can’t be more help but I’ll be watching as well to hopefully gain knowledge before mine get going.

Gotcha! I ordered the pro-heat panel specifically because I wanted expert suggestion on size as well as the quality associated with this brand. I gave Bob the information on enclosure size temps of my home etc and he had me order the 65w for my 48x24x12 space.

I have the rhp installed in the back left corner there's about 10" from the front of the panel to the front of my cage and I'd say close to 30" from the opposite wall. I've just got Kraft paper laid down at the moment, but I'm balancing my temp before I move any animals in of course.

The problem (to my eyes) with setting the hottest spot to 90-92 is that my home sits between 62-68 degrees and likely will for another month at least. I'm afraid of giving my babies a nasty RI with those ambients. Better to want to stay on the cooler side than to live in the hottest spot trying to keep warm ... Right??

I'm rather neurotic when it comes to my husbandry after having a horrific start with my first snake. If it weren't for this forum he likely would have died within a month of him coming home with me, if not sooner. I'm scarred.
