Actually, RHPs are specifically made to raise ambient temps so if your RHP is half the length of your terrarium, then I'd recommend to set your thermostat for around 80 degrees at which point your who terrarium will be around that temp.

All my AP terrariums have run RHPs for years and the lack of gradience has not made a difference. All BPs eat amazingly and all are healthy.
