Don't you have a thermostat that was controlling the RHP? You would use that to control the UTH, there's not any more risk than any other heat source when used properly, definitely much safer than running electric blankets for long periods that are not made for that purpose. Why not replace the RHP? Mine don't dry out my cages and they are great for heating cages.Originally Posted by kelykl
DHPs are almost impossible to getespecially the 80w. I have 2 in order but they were out of stock so just waiting now.
I’m a little hesitant to go with any UTHs. Never used them before but have heard horror stories. Plus, I would have to buy at least 2 more thermostats to control the temp for the UTHs. Way more than I’m wanting to drop for a temporary solution. The next 2 weeks are suppose to be much warmer so I shouldn’t have any issues for awhile. Will just hope the dhp come in.
But I am curious why nobody wants to recommend an electric blanket. You recommended 2 UTHs per tank and an electric blanket seems much safer. I inadvertently posted this in another thread as well and my response there was they wouldn’t do it but with no reason why.
