I have AP cages with heat cord and flexwatt this does not provide enough heat in a room that is below 68 degrees. Right now I am using a 58 watt RHP and keeps the warm side 86-89 degrees and the cool end 68-70. This room is only heated to 60-65 degrees.
My AP racks are in the same boat 80-83 is the highest temp that I can maintain in a 60-65 degree room using flexwatt and a Helix control set to 90 degrees. Flexwatt, Heat cord and UTB heat pads from zoo med do not work well in temps lower then 68 degrees. ----- Jason A.
