    Re: Heat Panels?

    A couple more things. In addition to the RHP, you should use a UTH. I use heat tape and it works great. The heat from your RHP won't penetrate your warm side hide very well, so you'll want heat coming up from below.

    As for ventilation, I feel less is more, particularly, if your home is cool or dry. With more ventilation, there is a danger you'll end up venting away the heat and humidity your bp needs. It's much easier to regulate the environment in your enclosure if that environment is isolated from the environment in your home. That is, unless you want to keep your home at 80F and 60% humidity.
