Review RBI 3x2 with RHP

[vgibbens]

To do this, I took everything out of the cage and flipped the cage onto it's roof so I wasn't fighting gravity. There are two screws holding the light and the heat panel. The heat panel had phillips head screws and the light had blade screwdriver heads. You'll have to take the clip on plug end off of the light due to when the light gets moved the cord will plug into the light on the right instead of the left now. I had to drill out one of the vent holes on the rear right side to run the light electrical cord through. I used some zip tye anchors along the right hand side ceiling and fastened the light's cord to them so they're up and out of the way. It was super easy, only took about ten minutes. Now the light switch is right inside and I don't have to reach to the back to turn it on/off. Also, if the light is on and I look in, I'm not looking almost directly into a flourescent light. The way it is now, you can't even see the light fixture.

It looks like he was hanging on the light's power cord a little as they're hanging down a little, but you get the point.

Does anyone think the light will fit on the 2 foot wall(side wall)...I don't think I would like all that wire floating around

[chetman7]

ok so I moved my RHp all the way back

btw whoever has the fluorescent light..theres a outlet on both sides..one side has a cover on it.


SOOOoOOO I dunno wat the hell is going on.

I got a huge problem. I got back to my room to see that the temps under both my hides is 91F I have no idea wat is going on....I feel so bad cause I dunno how long shes been like this.

My gradient has totally disappeared

[chetman7]

reset my temps and got them consistent 90 hot 80 cold ..woke up today and now its 90- 85
I dunnoe wat is going on...I'm missing my 20L now

That dosen't sound too bad. What exactly is your setup? Where is your RHP mounted? Where is your probe mounted. Is your room temp changing alot throught the day?

[chetman7]

RHP is placed in the back left of the cage and my hot hide is under it and my cold hide is in the front right.

I looked at my max temps again..my cold hides max temp was 90F!!!!

Is there a possibility that when my snake is sitting on the hot side for a period of time and he moves to the cold hide..that his body heat and throwing up my thermomters that are placed underneath the cool hide???
