Silly Dale!!
I live in the high desert of Central Oregon, in Bend, and our night temps are always low (summer= 40, winter= colder than witches...well...umm....very cold!) We run our furnace a lot!! We're already running each night and will run it in the day from about October through April or May. My ambient temps were a nightmare!! I couldn't make the flex watt go high enough to heat the air without burning the snake

Enter the radiant heat panel (cue Celestial Choir ) Problems solved- just that easily. Balls and boas digest and they tell of their exquisite delight over their digs heated from above (cue the choir again)!! Yeah, well, anyway, it's all good.

Glad you're calling Rich!! Tell him I said hello; I just love that guy!!
