I've got a problem...heating

[bcr229]

Thanks for the suggestions. I came across a similar situation where they added a shelf midway in the cage and put the RHP under that shelf so essentially bringing the RHP lower in the cage. Has anyone had experience with this type of set up?

I would not. The top of the RHP can get quite hot and I would be worried that the shelf above it could get hot enough to burn your snake if it decided to lay up there.
