    Re: Temp Problems - Thoughts on what I did?

    I'll give them a call tomorrow to see if they can upgrade to a T5 (3x2x1.5). I think a taller height shouldn't make too big of a difference with my room temps generally in the very high 60's to low 70s at worst. If I run into bottom temp problems on the cool side, I can replace the 2ft tape with 3ft heat tape to cover the whole thing like dakski does. With him having a 4ft though, I may not have that same issue. I can't do the 4ft T8 because there just isn't enough room in my place for that extra length anyway so I'm stuck with the 3ft as far as length goes.

    I forgot dakski also pointed out reptile basics for the heat tape, ha. Too much going through my mind to remember everything I suppose.

    So far the plan is:
    AP T3 or T5
    Pro Products RHP
    2 ft heat tape to cover 2/3rds of the tank
    herpstat 2
    repticarpet

    She better know that I care with all that I'm spending right now... haha. She's a rare one. She's never been shy about drinking water in front of me, which I hear most BP's are. While hanging around my neck, she has drank water many times from her water bowl while it is in my hands and I'm changing the water over. Plus, she has drank water cupped in my BARE hands 2 or 3 times. Nice 3-10 second drinks, and yes, she always has water available to her so lack of water wasn't the reason lol.

    Again, I appreciate all the help/advice from you all!
