    For those that have experience- do you prefer the Animal Plastics pvc enclosures or the ones by Reptile Basics?

    And for radiant heat panels- Pro Heat or Vivarium Electronics?

    I know that AP has a *very* long turnaround time, but I hear good things about them. RB would be a little more expensive and have less customizability but you won't be waiting several months for your enclosure.

    AP is willing to install your RHPs for you but 1. Only if you buy through Pro Heat and also 2. Installation doesn't seem difficult at all?

    Just want to know what's going to be the best investment wise as whichever I go with, I will probably buy more of down the line.
    I've been using an 80w Vivarium Electronics radiant heat panel for three years to heat my 3x2x2 plywood enclosure and it's been working great. If you want to install it yourself, installation is very easy. All you need is a power drill and a screwdriver.
