Heat panels are an excellent source of heat for tropical reptiles (or any reptile actually) needing a large heated area. I've tried ProProducts and Helix - both are fine. So are Enerjoy from www.beanfarm.com.



The whole concept of having a heater that heats like a spot lamp without giving off light makes it perfect for a proportional controller. Look at Big Apple's proportional - I think its $100. Also, Rancos are good for ON/OFF control (like $60). My opinion is that having heat panels and not using a proportional controller is like buying a really nice car but then getting cheap tires. A proportional controller will make the heaters last longer too, like years longer.
