Not a very exciting thread but I thought I would share a pic of my new BP's home. This cage was built by NERD and I was lucky enough to snag it while up at NERD getting setup for my new snake. When I first set the cage up I was using a 50 gal sized UTH hooked up to a thermostat. I was getting the proper 90-92 hot side temp but my ambient temps would jump between 74-78 which made me a bit nervous. After talking with Kara of NERD and doing some research I decided to add a RHP to the cage. The RHP I bought was actually a size smaller than what Bob at Pro-Products suggested to heat the entire cage by itself because I was planning to use it just raise my ambient temps a few degrees while still using my UTH for the basking spot. After some experimenting I was able to use just the RHP to get 90-91 / 80-81 temps which is exactly what I wanted.

All I can say is that these RHP's are great and much more effecient than running a UTH. They seem to heat the entire cage as apposed to just the floor of the basking area which does nothing for ambient temps. I will be adding my second snake and cage soon and I will without a doubt be heating it with a RHP from Pro-Procusts.

Anyone else using these around here?
