    Re: I got my Animal Plastics cage. Now what?

    Congrats. Your going to love it. What size AP did you get? What watt Pro Panel?
    I put my Probe on the Hot Side 1/2 way in-between enclosure floor and ceiling. My home temps can get cool (65-68) at night so i CAN NOT put the probe on the cool side or it will run so hard to keep the cool side at 80 that the Hotside will get over 96 degrees. I only recommend to people putting the probe on the Hot side because of this. That way if you set the TStat to 90 and the probe is right under the RHP half way to the enclosure floor the panel will not get that area hotter than the set temp.
    As far as feeding... if you have been feeding this Ball from above, this is actually easier. The snake will not come flying out hahaha its not a Cobra..I have Burms too and i just make sure to open the doors just enough to allow the Tongs and Rodent in...
    Basically all my snakes eat from their Hides anyway so I’m only careful with Large constrictors as the balls just pop their heads out of the hides and strike.
    Your Tstat is ok for now. Save for a Herpstat 2. Id never get a Herpstat 1 as if you ever want to run the RHP for 78-80 ambient and Heat tape for Hotspot then you can run the RHP and Heat tape off the Herpstat 2 .
    Ohhhh and the spot under the AP ENCLOSURES for heat tape are on the right side only and its only a recess for the Tstat Probe to be sandwiched under the Heat tape.
