For the absolute best heat panel for your specific application go to pro-products.com You will have to contact them to figure out what you need. You may notice that not one specific size/wattage panel is listed on their site. That's because they will ask all about your cage/animal/temps/room temps etc. to get the right panel for your application.





I have 24 of them in three different sizes. 2 in small melamine cages for breeding BRBB's, 6 in large melamine cages for breeding BCI's and 16 in oak cages for breeding BRB's. Different requirements for the species and bought at different times. Each time they worked with me to figure out the best solution for my application.



My snakes are thriving with them. Soft, gentle overhead heat just like the sun. The "basking spot" is truly a basking spot where their darker backs are absorbing the radiated heat. And yeah, the floor underneath gets warm as well.





For myself, a good quality proportional thermostat is the BEST way to go. No need to tweak rheostat(s) as temps change and no worry that a warm day temp spike will cause a temp spike in the cage. I love the Herpstat PRO T-stats. Four seperate channels with built in night drop capability. It's like four T-stats in one package. I litterally have one herpstat pro controlling...

1 - RHP's in a pair of cages (BRB)

2 - Flexwatt under a pair of tubs (BRB)

3 - Heat cable in two racks (BRB)

4 - Flexwatt in a 30 slot hatchling rack. (BRB or BCI depending on current needs)
