    So in my case the RHP gives me my ambient in a 68 degree house and a Basking area which you will already have your ambient during summer so the UTH will give you your Basking. The only thing is that you will have to keep changing probe placement or get a Herpstat2 and keep both hooked up all year only running the source you wish at the time.
    Heat tape is cheap enough but Id just keep both hooked up and run a Herpstat2 because Ive had problems with taping and un-taping heat tape in the past. Its pretty thin and a short is the last thing you want. Best of luck and have fun

    Haha, I'm the opposite - I get cold very easily, so I like to keep my home in the high 70s regardless of season, which is probably unnecessarily warm for most people. My snakes like it just fine, though.

    Also, luckily, all the reptile thermostats I own are Herpstat 2 Redlines (and I was already planning to grab a couple more while they're on sale this month, anyway), so that will make for an easy setup transition.
