With the first test I did run it for a couple days solid. It probably is the RHP just being too old anymore, because the thermostat(s) are definitely leaving it on, and I've noticed the RHP's own light constantly blinking like it's turning on and off after a certain point and not reaching any higher in temperature. For reference, in both instants the thermostats are set to the mid 90's, yet every time I'd check they'd never get past the mid 70's despite indicating that they've never shut the RHP off.

Guess I'll have to order a replacement. Thankfully I'm not too pressed for time since I want to give my VBB time to grow given how young and small she is; don't want to put her in a massive enclosure and unnecessarily stress her out no matter how much furnishing I'd put in it. Plus I've learned my lesson after putting my young corn in a T10 and then constantly struggling to find him afterwards.
