I got my Animal Plastics cage. Now what?

When your house is that cool, what do your cool side temps measure with your thermostat probe set up like you describe? I'm going to get an AP cage and was planning to run RHP for heat. My house gets to similar temps in the winter and wanted to make sure I had enough heat for proper cool side ambients.

2 years ago it was -15 in NY.. my enclosure dropped to 76.5 on the cool side however my Hot side stayed 90 and they all just go to the Hot Hide when they need it.
90% of the time they stay in the cool hide (80) unless they ate a big meal.
The size enclosure matters a lot and the size RHP.
My 8’ enclosure has 2 panels. One small panel for cool ambient and a Large 200 watt on the Hotside.
All my 4’x2’x2’ have 150 watt panels even though 120 would have worked. Id rather have the extra if i need it and Herpstats have a Power output so i can run them at 80% power if they are over kill.
